About the position
The overreaching aim of REC is to generate a coordinated analysis of long-term ecological data to understand the drivers and consequences of global change on biodiversity. To unravel how populations, interactions between species in natural communities and their effects on ecosystem functioning are responding to ongoing environmental change, the project takes advantage of the unique long-term datasets collected in Finland. REC also develops state-of-the-art methodology for analysing long-term spatially structured data sets within a joint species distribution modelling framework.
The person we are looking for
We are now seeking a postdoctoral researcher to assess how patterns of species co-occurrence are shifting with global change. We are particularly interested in how shifts in temporal occurrence (phenology) and spatial occurrence (range shifts at different scales) combine into generating new species assemblages at any given time and place. The successful candidate will contribute to developing the specific research questions. To this aim, we seek candidates who have completed a PhD in ecology, biostatistics or a related field, have strong conceptual and statistical skills, and experience of working with large and complex datasets. The degree requirement must be met by the beginning of the employment. The position requires the ability to analyse diverse field-collected biodiversity data sets, a solution-oriented mindset, and enthusiasm for research. Excellent written and verbal communication skills (as documented by first-authored papers), independence, and creativity are required, alongside the ability to conceive, execute, and complete research projects. The postdoc will work as part of a collaborative team at the Centre, and strong communication and interpersonal skills are essential.
