The project will be fueled by fine-scale, high-resolution bird monitoring data from key partners like the Dachverband Deutscher Avifaunisten (DDA), which must be harmonized with broader, continental-scale environmental data streams (e.g., climate projections, remote sensing land cover).

Tasks include:

• Co-develop innovative biodiversity forecasting models in collaboration with the group leader and partners from the TripleBird initiative
• Develop dynamic (time-explicit) habitat use models to forecast the impacts of diverse policy and management options on avifauna
• Project bird metrics with future scenarios that illustrate the long-term consequences of different courses of action for decision-makers
• Build and implement a continuous evaluation pipeline for biodiversity protection measures, using annually updated data from schemes like PECBMS
• Co-conceptualize and design user-friendly data products in collaboration with project partners
• Translate complex model outputs into actionable insights for diverse stakeholders (finance, business, conservation NGOs)
• Publish high-impact research and present work at international conferences

Requirements:

• PhD in Quantitative Ecology, Computational Biology, Biogeography, Statistics, Applied System Science or a related field
• Strong background in developing models and scenarios of species distribution and diversity (e.g., species distribution models, occupancy-detection models)
• Excellent conceptual and quantitative skills, with high proficiency in R (knowledge of Python is an asset)
• Proficiency with GIS software and spatial analysis
• Proven experience with FAIR science principles, including reproducible workflows and version control (e.g., Git/GitHub)
• Experience or strong interest in using High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments
• Strong interest in developing hybrid models that integrate mechanistic and data-driven approaches
• Experience with diverse biodiversity data sets and heterogeneous data
• Experience with machine learning approaches (e.g., neural networks) is an asset
• Excellent English language skills; German and other European languages are an asset
• A collaborative spirit and passion for working in interdisciplinary teams

Benefits/Conditions:

• Remuneration according to the TVöD public sector up to pay grade 13 including attractive public sector social security benefits
• Special annual payment, capital-forming benefits and subsidised Germany Job Ticket
• Flexible working hours and options for balancing work and care responsibilities through family office
• First-class integration into national and international research networks
• Excellent research infrastructure and research data management
• Competent support from the International Office for international colleagues
• Workplace in a vibrant region with high quality of life and social and cultural diversity
