We are looking for a post doc to a project about nature conservation strategies and monitoring of biodiversity in protected areas. The post doc will work within a 2-year synthesis project conducted by a group of researchers at Lund University and SLU and financed by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. The post doc will become a part of a strong international research environment in which both basic and applied research questions are dealt with, both by empirical studies and in synthesis projects (see
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Thomas_Ranius2/projects and
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Erik_Oeckinger/projects).At the Department of Ecology in Uppsala, we conduct research for sustainable forest and agricultural production and efficient biological conservation. We study the influence of land use and climate on animals, plants, soils nutrient status, and greenhouse gas balances. Solutions are sought that will mitigate climate change, preserve threatened species, benefit biological diversity and ecosystem services, and control pests in forest and agricultural landscapes as well as in urban areas.

The post doc will work within a 2-year synthesis project financed by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and conducted by a group of scientists at Lund University and Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. The post doc is main responsible for two scientific reviews and contribute to other parts of the project. One of the reviews will focus on the spatial allocation of protected areas and the other on the conservation of species associated with natural disturbances. The reviews should consider the conditions in Northern Europe and be based on ecological theories and international scientific literature.
Qualifications:
The applicant should hold a Ph D in ecology (or in a similar relevant subject), preferably within the last three years. Experience from the relevant research questions (landscape ecology, natural disturbance regimes, conservation strategies, forest and agricultural landscapes in Northern Europe) is a merit. Experience from synthesis projects (systematic searches for scientific literature, writing review papers, taking part in groups conducting syntheses in applied research areas) is a merit. A strong publication record (in relation to the time since dissertation) is a merit. The applicant is supposed to be able to take own initiatives and work both independently and in a group. The application must contain: (i) a summary of the research experience, expectations on this position and future plans (max 1 page) (2) CV, and (3) two reference persons.
