Doktorand i Miljövetenskap/Naturvetenskap/PhD student in Natural Science

Beskrivning av arbetsuppgifter: The Department of Earth Sciences is looking to recruit a PhD student into an ongoing research project supported by the Swedish Research Council Formas. The PhD project is a collaboration between the Department of Earth Sciences and Department of Biology and Environmental Sciences at the University of Gothenburg, but will also be a hub for future research syntheses of ITEX and offer cooperation with a large number of researchers. The project will study how the circumpolar variations in climate warming, both human and experimental, affect the dynamics of plant phylogenetic community structures and study if the relatedness of the species are linked to the responsiveness of the community across the Arctic. As a PhD student you will be part of an international research team (BLUES), while expanding your knowledge in the research and writing your dissertation. It gives you the opportunity for many intellectual interactions, an independent dissertation project as well as field work in subarctic Sweden. You will be expected to develop your own ideas and communicate scientific results orally and in writing. Moreover, the position may cover up to 20% departmental work, mostly teaching. You are expected to conduct interdisciplinary research combining systematics, bioinformatics, and ecology, where you will use a unique long-term circumpolar dataset (collected via the research network ITEX) with an experimental approach to investigate how climate warming affects the Arctic plant communities structure in both time and space. The research also implies a longer period of fieldwork in the Swedish mountains (Abisko area) and you are expected to communicate research results and have scientific publications in international journals.
