Department of Ecology: At the Department of Ecology in Uppsala we conduct empirical and theoretical research for sustainable forest and agricultural production and efficient biological conservation. Our research on populations, communities, and ecosystems forms the foundation for studying 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. See also: http://www.ekol.slu.se/ShowPage.cfm?OrgenhetSida_ID=9090.

Tasks: The post doc will conduct research within a project about the conservation values of low-productivity forests. One subproject will focus on how the amount of various structures indicating biodiversity varies between managed and unmanaged forests and in relation with productivity. In a second subproject, the species composition of wood-dependent beetles will be related to the tree growth rate when the tree was still alive. The projects are conducted within a group of researchers at the Department of Ecology (see https://www.researchgate.net/project/Conservation-value-of-low-productivity-forests).

Qualifications: The applicant should hold a Ph D in ecology (or in a similar relevant subject, such as forest science), preferably within the last five years. Experience in research in conservation biology, especially field based studies on species communities or forest structures, is a merit. Experience from the relevant ecosystem (boreal forests, dead wood, insects, or productivity gradients) is a merit. A strong publication record (in relation to the time since dissertation) is a merit. 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.

Location: Ultuna, Uppsala.

Employment: Time-limited employment 12 months with the possibility of extension. Full-time position.

Access: As soon as possible.

Application: Welcome with your application via the application button below no later than the November 29th 2018.
