Oferta compartida por Cristina Job Announcement A new research project on “Restoration of tropical rainforest in degraded landscapes” invites applications for one postdoctoral position in Conservation Biology beginning in mid 2023 for a period of 3 years. The project (acronym: UpScaleR) is funded by a grant from the Foundation UniScientia to the Technical University of Darmstadt (TUDa), Germany. The fixed-term positions will be implemented at the Universidad de Las Américas (UDLA) in Quito in close collaboration with TUDa and Fundación Jocotoco. UpScaleR aims at understanding the dynamics of natural forest recovery from agriculture and degraded land, comparisons with active tree plantations and the contribution of frugivorous vertebrates to tree dispersal. The research will be conducted in and around the Buenaventura Forest Reserve in southwestern Ecuador run by Fundación Jocotoco. The reserve successfully restores and protects a unique tropical forest in the western foothills ...
Oferta compartida por Cristina 2 Two PhD Funded Positions in Conservation Biology/Restoration Ecology at the University of Bern, Switzerland The Division of Conservation Biology at the Institute of Ecology and Evolution, University of Bern, Switzerland, offers 2 PhD positions within our research programme: Restoring grassland biodiversity: from degraded, species-poor to integral stable-state ecosystems The research programme was launched in 2018 with the objective to develop and evaluate the effects of current and novel grassland restoration methods for converting existing species-poor grasslands into biodiversity-rich, stable-state ecosystems. It comprises two modules: 1) a lowland module that experimentally tests pro-active restoration methods for hay meadows; and 2) a mountain module where passive restoration methods are investigated for enhancing the biodiversity of intensified grasslands. The successful PhD candidates will work either in the lowland or in the mountain module. Bo...

Oferta compartida por Nuria A technician position in fish ecology and conservation and three postdoc positions in fish ecology, niche modelling and conservation are available (each 2-3 years) in the Aquatic Ecology & Evolution group of Ole Seehausen at the University of Bern, Switzerland. With the Wyss Academy for Nature, we are starting an ambitious freshwater conservation biology project with a focus on fish. Working initially at the scale of the largest Swiss catchment, the Aare, home to more than 60 different species of fish, we want to go all the way from field ecology, niche modelling and projections of range shifts under climate change to identifying priority areas for biodiversity conservation, and designing measures to mitigate predicted and recover past losses. As implementation partner, the Swiss Fisheries Competence Center will develop applications of such measures initially in a test region. The project is supported by the Wyss Academy for Nature at the University of ...

The fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) causes the disease Chytridiomycosis and is believed to be one of the major causes for recent global declines of amphibians. Bd was first found in Sweden in 2011. This studentship is aimed at elucidating the relationship between Bd infection and fitness in natural populations of Swedish amphibians. The objective is to determine the extent of Bd infection in Swedish amphibans and whether resistance differs among species and populations. We seek a bright and highly motivated student who ideally holds an M.Sc. or equivalent in a relevant topic (e.g. population-, evolutionary- or conservation genetics/ecology). Experience of working with conservation genetic techniques such as MHC-genetics, sequencing, and genotyping would be advantageous, but full training will be provided. The ideal candidate will also be able to work both independently and as part of a team. A high standard of spoken and written English is required. The student will be ba...
The fellowship is for up to four years including 25 % teaching duties. The fellowship is linked to the Centre for Conservation Biology, NTNU ( http://www.bio.ntnu.no/pbc/ ). The purpose of the project is to study temporal and spatial variation in population dynamics using large data sets covering a wide range of taxa. Our aim will be to obtain a better understanding of how changes in the environment, e.g. due to climate change, will affect long-term viability of populations and species. The student will through the PhD acquire expertise in quantitative ecology, applications of population models and use of advanced statistical methods. The candidate will work in a multidisciplinary research group. Applicants must have, or soon expect to obtain, a MSc/Cand.Scient. (or equivalent) degree in the field of quantitative ecology, mathematics or statistics. Skills in using statistical software and programming are needed. Ability to carry out goal-oriented work, give oral and writt...
