Oikos list: postdoct in bryophyte ecology and conservation

A postdoctoral position in bryophyte ecology and conservation over 14 months is available at the Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL, with The Swedish Museum of Natural History as partner institution.

The project is a follow-up to the recently published Red List of European bryophytes (Hodgetts et al. 2019) with the main goal to analyse how intrinsic (i.e. species traits) and extrinsic factors (e.g. habitat destruction) together affect the extinction risk of European bryophytes. Please find relevant information on the position at  https://apply.refline.ch/273855/1098/pub/1/index.html

Please spread this information in your network. We look forward to receiving applications from all over!

Oikos renewal changes 2021

Dear Swedish Society Oikos members,

 

This year there will be some changes when you renew your membership for 2021.

 

1.       Renewal payments will be made through the Nordic Society Oikos’ new platform. This means that you need to have access to the platform, and approve its terms and conditions. Please check that you have activated your membership by trying to log in at: https://nordicsocietyoikos.glueup.com/account/login  

If you are on the Oikos mailing list but cannot log in, then it is very likely that you have already been added to the platform previously but did not activate your registration. If this is the case, please let me know and I can re-send the activation email. It is better to activate an existing account than to create a new one. Activation is important as otherwise you may not get notification emails that are sent out via the platform (see next point).

2.       Early in December you can expect to receive a renewal message from the platform. Please do not delete this message as it is not spam! Follow the instructions in the email to renew your membership.

3.       Members of the Swedish Society Oikos are also members of the Nordic Society Oikos, and this is a long-standing arrangement. However as of next year the NSO will start collecting a membership fee, in order to continue to be able to provide services to the member societies (such as the platform for our new website and membership management). This means that the total cost of membership for 2021 is increased to 110 SEK (11 EUR) – 50 SEK to the Nordic Society Oikos and 60 SEK as usual to the Swedish Society Oikos.

4.       When paying online you can choose your method of payment, but the membership fee will be collected in Euros rather than SEK. This is necessary to harmonize membership payments across Scandinavia.

5.       We hope to be able to offer a 5-year membership option later on, but for now only 1-year memberships are possible. (We need to make sure any bugs in the system have been worked out before we can implement multi-year memberships.)

Thanks for your support, and have a happy and healthy rest of the year!
