The research project will focus on pollen-based Holocene land-cover reconstructions at the regional and local spatial scales using a modelling approach. These reconstructions will be used primarily by climate modelers. The research group at Linnaeus University includes two professors, two postdocs and a number of external PhD students (affiliated to other Swedish Universities) involved in the research projects of the group. Professor M.-J. Gaillard coordinates a large international network, LandCover6k, endorsed by the international research platform PAGES (PAst Global changES). It involves collaboration with archaeologists and climate/vegetation/land-use modelers. The research project is a contribution to LandCover6k.
Qualification requirements for the position are a PhD in environmental science (with a focus on palaeoecology and pollen analysis), experience in pollen-vegetation modelling, and knowledge of general Holocene vegetation history over the globe. Skills in Geographical Information System (GIS) and multivariate numerical analysis are also required.
