The Department of Wildlife, Fish, and Environmental Studies, SLU, Umeå, is looking for a postdoc in the project "Ecological effects of pharmaceuticals in aquatic environments". Focus of the project is to study behavioural effects on aquatic wildlife that pharmaceuticals in surface waters induce, and to what extent they translate into ecological and/or ecosystem effects. The postdoc will study how behaviourally modifying pharmaceuticals (e.g. benzodiazepines or SSRI:s) affect inter-specific interactions (i.e. predation and competition) and important life-history events (i.e. migration) of wild fish from northern aquatic ecosystems in a combination of lab and field-experiments.
The department offers a creative and stimulating environment and perform internationally recognised basic and applied research, education and environmental monitoring in the research areas: animal ecology, aquatic ecology, molecular ecology and restoration ecology (see
https://www.slu.se/en/departments/wildlife-fish-environmental-studies/research/research-areas/ ). The department has a large proportion of international employees and well established national and international cooperation which gives opportunities for fruitful exchange.
Duties:
The postdoc will combine controlled lab-experiments with large-scale field studies, using acoustic telemetry, to investigate both the ecological effects in natural complex systems and the mechanisms behind the behavioural effects. The project will be performed in collaboration with researchers at the department of Chemistry at Umeå University.
Qualifications:
The applicant should hold a PhD in ecology, psychology, biology or equivalent. We are looking for a highly motivated and team-oriented candidate with documented experience in either behavioural ecology, pharmaceutical sample preparation, ecotoxicological study-design, fish ecology and/or spatial ecology. Documented statistical skills are a prerequisite for the position. Experience with live trapping and caretaking of fish and behavioural softwares will count as merits. A postdoctoral position is a qualifying appointment for junior researchers, intended primarily for those who have obtained a doctorate degree within recent three years.
Place of work:
Umeå
Form of employment:
Temporary employment with salary. A postdoctoral position is limited to two years.
Extent:
