Dear all,
The Department of Biology is seeking a postdoctoral fellow in landscape ecotoxicology, with a focus on bumble bees and other bees. The postdoc will work in the project “Exposure and Effects of Chemical Mixtures on Bees (MixToxBee) - Supporting Pesticide Monitoring and Bee Risk Assessment”. The project aims to quantify bees’ exposure to pesticide mixtures and evaluate effects on individual bees and bee populations, using experiments and modelling. The outcome is relevant for monitoring pesticide residues in terrestrial environments, which is currently lacking, and ecological risk assessment of chemical mixtures for bees. Pesticide exposure is estimated by quantifying residues in pollen and nectar collected by several bee species and extending bee foraging models to include pesticide use. This data is used to select environmentally relevant mixtures of pesticides for lab and landscape experiments in combination with individual-based modelling on bee individuals, colonies, populations and pollination services.
Postdoctoral fellow in landscape ecotoxicology, PA2020/3727
Closing date for application 2020-12-14.
…and in Swedish: Postdoktor i landskapsekotoxikologi, PA2020/3727
Sista ansökningsdag är 2020-12-14.
Please forward to anyone that you think might be interested!
Best wishes,
Maj
