PhD position in ecology/physical geography with focus on Arctic terrestrial ecosystems (4-years)

Dear colleagues,

We are looking for PhD candidates in a project on changes in Arctic terrestrial ecosystems. Please help to spread the announcement to potential candidates. The application deadline is the 25th April 2022. A second related position focusing on remote sensing using drones will be announced shortly.

Project description

Our planet is getting warmer, the Arctic is getting greener, shrubs and trees are growing better and moving up-slope. We can observe these vegetation changes on the ground and in satellite imagery, but we still need a better understanding of the dynamic nature of these changes. You can bring some light into this!

This PhD position offers you the opportunity to research vegetation trends in the Arctic. We will investigate how the Arctic is getting greener, what factors may cause stability and what factors may cause rapid change. We will map vegetation using remote sensing data from UAVs (drones) and satellites, and do fieldwork in the Swedish mountains for ground-truthing of vegetation plots and soil samples. Furthermore, we want to investigate and develop conceptual, GIS and numerical models that can confirm and predict the patterns we see over time in the remote sensing imagery.

The position runs over four years and is based at Umeå University. At the Department of Ecology and Environmental Science we provide an active research environment on Arctic and boreal vegetation research with an extended group of 4 PIs and over 10 PhD students and Postdocs. The modeling activity will be in collaboration with the Integrated Science Lab (IceLab) at Umeå University. The supervisors will be Dr. Matthias Siewert and Professor Johan Olofsson.

Opportunity!! Lectureship in Conservation Biology in Gothenburg!

Dear Ecologists,

here is a Lectureship in Conservation biology, at the Dep Biological and Environmental Sciences, Gothenburg. The search is very broad and can involve biodiversity, metapopulation biology for example, but preferably with focus on applied ecology, and some feel for Scandinavian conditions. Knowledge of how to identify organisms in the field is also good.  Please apply and/or spread! We look forward to welcome a new colleague in conservation biology at the sunny west coast of Sweden!

Deadline 11 May 2022.

Regards,
Karin

Dear colleagues,
On behalf of the the Hydrobiology Institute of Biology Centre CAS and as well as the Organizing and Scientific committee, I would hereby like to cordially invite you and update some information to the the 5th Percid Fish International Symposium - Percis V (18-23 September 2022, České Budějovice, Czech Republic).

Despite the war in Ukraine (over 1 000 km far from České Budějovice) and subsiding COVID-19 pandemic, the symposium will be hold as scheduled. Due to the difficult situation globally, the abstract submission deadline as well as the registration deadline is postponed to May 2, 2022.

 

Say NO to covid, say NO to war in Ukraine, say NO to Putin, but say YES to Percis V!


We are pleased to announce that the following colleagues have accepted our invitation to present their research at Percis as keynote speakers:

John F. Craig
Robert Arlinghaus
Peter Eklӧv

Martti Rask
David G. Fielder


Do not hesitate to register via symposium pages.

There will be the opportunity to publish high quality papers in the scope of percid fish ecology in a symposium issue of Ecology of Freshwater Fish. Participants will also have the opportunity to publish their contributions in Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries (both Wiley).

Last but not least, we are looking for SPONSORS for our symposium. If you are interested in contributing, please see our symposium pages for sponsorship opportunities.

For more information, please see the attached document or visit our website at www.percis-v.eu.

We would be grateful if you would forward this invitation to other colleagues, who might be interested.


Should you require any further assistance, please feel free to contact me.
I look forward to meeting you all in person.
