Dear all,

I would much appreciate help to spread this add for a postdoc position.

Postdoc: Modelling species community dynamics given forest and climate scenarios

Duties: You will conduct hierarchical modelling of plant community dynamics (HMSC), specifically the joint colonization-extinctions dynamics of community members with different traits, as a function of forest and climate variables. The data on >200 plant species have been recorded on the repeatedly surveyed, permanent Swedish National Forest Inventory plots representing ca. 25 million hectare ha of land. You will also apply the models as part of optimization of future forest use to reach objectives on future revenue, biodiversity, ecosystem services and climate. Available are tools/models to simulate future forestry, species distribution and richness, ecosystem services, and climate, the latter based on Life Cycle Assessment. An integrated system is built that will allow identifying/optimizing synergies, tradeoffs and compromises in the use of forests to reach objectives for the future. Results will be used as part of evaluation work conducted at EU scale where more general approaches are used (e.g. Leclère et al. 2020, Nature 585: 551-). The work is funded by the Horizon Europe project ForestNavigator coordinated by IIASA and the ForestValue project SustMultBiomass (forestvalue.org/jointcall-2021) coordinated by us.

Two PhD-positions in agricultural ecology and economy, Uppsala, Sweden

The Department of Ecology and the Department of Economy at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences announce two PhD-candidate positions: in agricultural ecology and economy placed in Uppsala, Sweden.
The students will together investigate how ecological and economic efficiencies change across farms implementing agroecological practices such as diverse crop rotations, cover crops, reduced tillage and reduced nitrogen and pesticide use. The project provides the opportunity to work with actors in the entire food value chain from farmer to consumer, including process industry and retail in the effort to extract added value from sustainable farming and assess capacity for upscaling.

Ecology deadline 6 May
https://www.slu.se/en/about-slu/work-at-slu/jobs-vacancies/?rmpage=job&rmjob=6446&rmlang=UK

Economy deadline 22 April

Post doc in behavioural ecology

A 2-year post doc position in Behavioural ecology is open at University of Gothenburg, Sweden

Deadline 28 March 2022. Start: 1 September 2022 (or earlier, as agreed upon).

The position is in the subject of animal ecology, with a focus on evolutionary behavioral ecology. The research questions concern how a recently published definition of sexual selection affect the demarcation between natural and sexual selection, with a special focus on female mating competition, as well as evolution of female ornaments. Some sub-studies are planned to be conducted in collaboration with researchers at the Univ of Western Australia, Australia, potentially also at the Univ of Idaho, USA.

The aim of the project is to empirically explore the above-mentioned questions, experimentally and in comparative studies. Tasks and techniques include field collection and experimental work with insects (Kawanaphila nartee), possibly also with fish (Pomatoschistus minutus). Literature studies are also included, where the data will be analyzed with meta-analytical techniques. Phylogenetic analysis may also be considered. A time period of 1-2 months per year will be spent in Western Australia. A shorter visit to Idaho may also be included in the project. In addition to experimental design, data collection and analysis, the writing of scientific articles is a very important task.

Use this link to apply (and to find more detailed information about the position, eligibility, etc):

PhD position on belowground plant responses to grazing and snow cover changes in boreal ecosystems

Dear colleagues,

I am looking for a PhD student working on belowground plant responses to grazing and snow cover changes in boreal ecosystems, and I hope you can help me spread this information to suitable candidates!

The aim of the project is to study and quantify how reindeer grazing and changes in snow cover influence plant growth and decomposition patterns above- and belowground. The holder of this position will investigate plant community composition, seasonal plant (root) growth, decomposition of plant material, root influences on carbon cycling, and how these change with altered winter conditions and reindeer grazing regimes in boreal forests and fens. Johan Olofsson (Umeå University) and Maria Väisänen (University of Oulu, Finland) will be co-supervisors for this position. More information on the position and Umeå University can be found via the link below.

The deadline for application: March 31st, 2022, and we welcome all applications!
