Open positions PhD Student and postdoc - coastal habitats, fish and fisheries

Dear colleagues,

 

We are looking for a postdoc to join our project on sustainable Blue Food. The focus is on the linkages between seafood (that is or could potentially be eaten) and shallow coastal environments (and bottom vegetation in specific). An interdisciplinary approach, stemming from social or natural science, is a good starting point. 

 

The position is part of the strategic Swedish food centre initiative: Blue food - Center for future seafood.

 

Please circulate this opportunity to potential candidates that would like to come and join the team on Campus Gotland, Uppsala University.

 

Postdoctoral position in Natural Resources and Sustainable Development

In Sweden, it is possible to apply for a postdoc position up to 3 years after a PhD degree.

 

All the best,

 

Gunilla Rosenqvist & Lina Mtwana Nordlund

Postdoc

Please circulate to anyone potentially interested in modelling biodiversity in Swedish forests!

 

Formulation of sustainable forest policies requires solid understanding of environmental and economic impacts of alternative forest management. This postdoc links efforts of two research projects (ForestPath and Green Pole) to investigate how to balance biodiversity, climate, social values and economy as affected by forest management and policy. The postdoc will focus on predicting consequences for biodiversity of alternative forestry practices and assist in tracing them to underlying policy changes. This requires development of robust ways to relate biodiversity to forest structures that are affected by decisions on both how production forest is managed and to what extent areas are excluded from forestry. To this end, existing data will be used to develop models able to predict how management and policy options impact biodiversity in Swedish and Nordic forests.

PhD-position on oaks, insects & microbes at Stockholm University

Dear colleagues,

 

We are looking for a highly motivated PhD-student to join the long-term research on the interactions between plants, insects & microbes, with a focus on the food web surrounding oak trees.

 

For more information see the project description (below) and the following link:

https://www.su.se/english/about-the-university/work-at-su/available-jobs/phd-student-positions-1.507588?rmpage=job&rmjob=19076&rmlang=UK

 

and don't hesitate to contact me directly by email, (closing date is November 4)

 

My best,

 

Ayco Tack

ayco.tack@su.se

 

 

Some more info: Questions that the project aims to answer are: Where do the microorganisms associated with plants come from? Are they inherited from the mother plant through the seeds, or are they acquired from the environment? How will plant-associated microorganisms affect the assembly of the insect community? What are the drivers that structure plant-associated multitrophic food webs, and do the structuring forces differ between microorganisms and macroorganisms?

To answer these questions, we have to link studies on the micro- and macrobiome across spatial and temporal scales. One useful approach is to focus on a diverse community associated with a keystone species. In this project we will use the pedunculate oak Quercus robur.

The PhD-student will be located at DEEP with Ayco Tack as main supervisor, but with complementary support by a group of co-supervisors with other competences.
