Forskar/miljöanalysspecialist i akvatisk ekologi

Hej!

Vi söker två nya forskare/miljöanalysspecialister i akvatisk ekologi till Kustlaboratoriet i Öregrund vid institutionen för akvatiska resurser. De kommer att ta fram ny kunskap om kust- och havsekosystem och kommunicera denna vetenskapligt och som råd till förvaltning. Arbetet innefattar planering, ledning och genomförande av olika fisk- och fiskerelaterade projekt.

PhD student - Biodiversity

Dear all,

We are recruiting a new PhD candidate, who will study biodiversity in road verges and other linear infrastructure habitats. In particular, the candidate will investigate whether biodiversity-targeted management of road verges benefits pollinating insects and pollination, and will examine to what extent the biodiversity of plans and insects in road verges and other habitats depend on current management or land use history.

 

For more information, and details on how to apply, see: https://www.slu.se/en/about-slu/work-at-slu/jobs-vacancies/?rmpage=job&rmjob=3848&rmlang=UK.

 

Please forward this to potentially interested candidates!

Oikos online seminar series?

The board of the Swedish Society Oikos is thinking about starting up an online seminar series. Although inspired by other such initiatives that were started in the wake of the covid-19 pandemic, the idea is for the seminar series to continue indefinitely if successful. We would therefore like feedback from our members to make sure the seminars will be as attractive and interesting as possible!

 

Please fill in the following survey to let us know your preferences:

Dear Colleagues:

Our research group at McMaster is looking for a post-doc to help with
COVID-forecasting projects. This is a good opportunity to work on
projects designed to inform public-health decision-making.

The ideal candidate would have expertise in epidemiological modeling,
statistical modeling of dynamical systems, and R programming.

PhD course: Ecology of Agriculture 5ECTS

 

 

 

Welcome to the PhD course:

Ecology of Agriculture (5 ECTS)

 

Start in August preparatory work

Topic assignments September 7-11, 2020

Retreat workshop September 14-18, 2020

 

Please note the new, earlier dead line for applying: June 15 2020

 

This course is intended for PhD students interested in exploring ecological processes in agricultural production systems and how they relate to agronomic practices. A brief introduction into relevant ecology concepts, will be followed by special focus on ecosystem processes which influence crop production level and stability (e.g., nutrient cycling, pollination, herbivory, predation), and the biodiversity that drives these processes above and below ground, and how these shape crop yield.

The course will challenge participants to consider how these organisms are affected by crop management, and how the ecosystem functions they generate vary across space and time. Where appropriate we will introduce aspects of global climate and other changes, which set the context for what we do and what we face. We will further discuss how ecological principles can be employed in the development of crop production systems to improve efficiency and sustainability of agriculture.

 

How: Two course parts:

1) a preparatory part with group assignment on a topic within agricultural ecology. The preparatory work can be performed at a distance.

 

2) One week retreat meeting at Ekenäs Herrgård –Lectures, presentations of topic assignments, hands-on exercises, and workshop to write a final report.

 

Where:     Preparatory part from home department (week 37).

                 Retreat workshop at Ekenäs Herrgård in Sörmland (week 38).

 

When:       August 1 Reading assignment

                 August 4 Student topics selected

                 September 7-11 drafting summaries with feedback from instructors

                 September 14-18 Retreat course workshop

 

Please see attached course plan for more information

 

Apply no later than June 15, 2020 by sending an email to Riccardo Bommarco (riccardo.bommarco@slu.se )

Till minne av Lenn Jerling

Foto: Svante Jerling

En av pionjärerna inom den moderna växteko­login i Sverige, Professor Emeritus Lenn Jerling har gått bort några dagar innan han skulle ha fyllt 73 år den 26 maj 2020. Efter uppväxten i Stockholm, och grundutbildning vid Stock­holms universitets botaniska institution, inledde Lenn redan som doktorand sin blivande yrkes­bana som banbrytande ekolog mer eller mindre på egen hand. Han bidrog därvid starkt till att det sena 1970-talets växtekologi inte bara i Stockholm utan även på andra håll i landet ge­nomgick en idémässig omorientering från klas­siska växtsamhällsstudier mot evolutionärt ba­serade fältstudier av växtpopulationer och där­till hörande experiment. Impulserna utifrån – då främst Storbritannien - var tydliga. Lenns an­svar för att med ständigt nya infallsvinklar och problemlösningar ha inspirerat en hel genera-tion några år yngre kolleger är obestridligen en annan av hans tyngsta meriter.

Från att inledningsvis ha arbetat med renodlade populationsdynamikundersökningar gick Lenn själv vidare till att bearbeta gen-ekologiska frå­geställningar, orsakerna till, och händelseför­loppet vid uppkomsten av asexuell fröförökning (apomixis) samt under senare delen av hans kar­riär växtekologiska aspekter (spridning, meta­populationsdynamik) på kulturlandskapets ut­veckling - i synnerhet i Stockholms skärgård.

Just skärgården hade redan tidigt intagit en sär­skild plats i Lenns hjärta, och från att under många år ha varit bosatt i Vaxholm, i sen tid på Vätö i Roslagen samt under mer eller mindre hela sitt vuxna liv ha seglat, tog han i samband med pensioneringen 2012 steget att tillsammans med hustrun Bitte och sönerna Eskil, Svante och Åke köpa och under stora delar av året bo på Agö fyr. Han fick även sluta sin levnad på denna plats.

Postdoc: Modelling, predicting metacommunity dynamics

Dear all,

I would appreciate help to spread the announcement for this postdoc position.

 

Modelling and predicting metacommunity dynamics

Duties: You will develop models for spatial metacommunity dynamics of epiphytes or deadwood fungi. We have extensive data on the colonization-extinction dynamics of most metacommunity members in both study systems. The modelling will test for effects of environmental conditions, species interactions, species traits and phylogenies. There is also possibility to do fieldwork. Finally, you will make projections of metacommunity dynamics assuming scenarios. We study how socio-economic policy, climate change or forest management on different spatial scales (global, EU, landscape) may affect the future delivery of ecosystem services and metacommunity structure of different organism groups. The work is funded by The Swedish Research Council and by Formas.
