PhD candidate wanted for project on Arctic terrestrial ecology

Dear all, 

We are looking for a motivated candidate to apply for a PhD scholarship from the regional call "Severo Ochoa" in Asturias to join our recently funded project "Effects of community assembly processes for trophic network structures in the high arctic: Implications for understanding the ecological consequences of climate change". The student would be registered at University of Oviedo, Asturias, and  based at the Mixed Research Unit for Biodiversity (UMIB, https://www.unioviedo.es/UMIB/). 

The project  will use existing data on vascular plants, arthropods and vertebrates from high arctic Greenland to evaluate the consequences of local and regional community assembly processes on the structure of  trophic interactions, and interpret the results from a climate change perspective. The work will be primarily laboratory and data driven, but with opportunities for some additional field work during the PhD period. The project is a collaboration between scientists in CSIC, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, and Stockholm University. The project is an international collaboration and good communication skills in English will be required. Good GIS and R skills will be a benefit. We are looking for students with at least an 6.5 grade point average, or equivalent in terms of foreign candidates. Citizens from all EU countries are eligible for this funding, as well as citizens from non-EU countries as long as they hold a Spanish foreign identity number (NIE) at the time of application. All foreign applicants need to hold a degree that allow them access to PhD studies in their home country at the time of application.

https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/hosting/phd-candidate-wanted-project-arctic-terrestrial-ecology 

Please send a brief letter of interest an a CV as pdf files to Fredrik Dalerum fredrik.dalerum@csic.es, who can also be contacted for any questions, no later than 20 September.

Postdoc position in Chemical Ecology

​Dear All,

Please see information at the link below on a postdoc position in chemical ecology at the newly established Max Planck Centre "next Generation Insect Chemical Ecology" (nGICE), which is a collaboration between SLU, Lund University and the Max Planck Society. The project will address how climate changes and pollutants affect host plant selection in the polyphagous moth Spodoptera littoralis and is hosted by Prof Peter Anderson at SLU, Alnarp.

Oikos meeting 2021 - save the dates!

The Swedish Oikos conference 2021 is scheduled for February 8^th-10^th. https://nordicsocietyoikos.glueup.com/event/oikos-meeting-sweden-2021-19146/

 

The board of the society and conference organizing committee will make a final decision in October whether to hold a physical conference as usual, or to switch to a digital format. If a physical meeting does not seem safe or feasible, then the preliminary plan is to hold a shorter digital conference with two half-day sessions (e.g. afternoon of day 1 and morning of day 2).

 

Either way, some sort of conference will happen, so save the dates!

Conference with focus on birds but I would think of interest also if you work with other organism groups.

Subject: Registration Open | Zoom Conference | Climate change and birds

 

View this email in your browser   Climate change and birds:  solutions to the crisis   24 November 2020  |  #BOUsci20     | REGISTRATION NOW OPEN    We're pleased to announce that registration is now open for our first ever Zoom conference. We will run a programme of sessions from 0900 – 2300 UTC.   There will be no concurrent sessions. The schedule allows people to present and/or attend for some/all of the conference during their normal working day from across many time zones.   The Zoom conference will also be recorded and made available after the conference, so people will also be able to catch up on any presentations that they missed. This also allows people to register solely for the recording if they cannot make the event on the day. Follow the link below for: Registration Programme Abstracts Time zone converter    More information on the Zoom conference   | Twitter Conference    We are also running a parallel Twitter Conference following the same programme timings of the main Zoom event with Twitter-only presentation being presented during the Zoom programme breaks. All Zoom presentations will be summarised on Twitter, but Twitter-only presentations will not be shared via the Zoom platform.   Twitter is a free and inclusive platform on which to take an event global, as unlike other social media platforms, you don't even need an account to follow online – from anywhere in the world.     More information on the Twitter conference   | CONFERENCE OVERVIEW   The planet is now experiencing the effects of current climate and ecological crises, with an urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Future warming is projected to far exceed the current 1.5°C target, so the need to adapt to climate change is also critical.   This one-day conference will bring together scientists, conservationists and policy experts to use what we know about the impacts of climate change on birds to understand future vulnerabilities. We will also examine the evidence that adapting our conservation practice will provide solutions to the climate crisis for birds.   In particular, we will consider different approaches to estimating future impacts of climate change on birds and their habitats, and how these can inform adaptation needs. Given that forecasting the future is always difficult, we will look at the impact of uncertainty upon decision-making for policy and practice.   How we might adapt biodiversity conservation to make climate smart choices has been much discussed, considering potential implications for landscapes, protected site management and species. There is an urgent need for evidence to inform decision-making, and to consider what level of adaptation will be sufficient. Using a range of studies, we will review what we know and identify key knowledge gaps that will inform future work. As an output from the conference, we aim to write a ten-year update of a previously published IBIS Viewpoint from the 2010 BOU conference 'Birds and Climate Change'. Objectives: To consider approaches to projecting future impacts of climate change on birds and review what they tell us about species' vulnerability. Given the anticipated impacts on species and habitats, to review the priorities for adaptation. To assess success rates of different adaptation approaches, and to identify current knowledge gaps in delivering solutions to the climate change crisis for birds.   CONFERENCE INFORMATION     | SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME COMMITTEE   James Pearce-Higgins | Chair | BTO, UK Francis Daunt | CEH, UK (Chair, BOU Meetings Committee) Jo Gilbert | RSPB, UK Christine Howard | University of Durham, UK   | TWITTER EVENT ORGANISERS   Steve Dudley | BOU, UK Nina O'Hanlon | Environment Research Centre (UHI), UK       Keeping in touch is easy.
