Strong research and attractive study programmes attract researchers and students from around the world. With new knowledge and new perspectives, the University contributes to a better future.Postdoctor in natural science, specializing in restoration/conservation biology
At the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences (BioEnv) we have teaching and research activities that stretch from the alpine ecosystem, through forests, cultivated land and streams, all the way into the marine environment. In these environments we study different levels of biological organisation from genes, individuals and populations to communities and ecosystems. We work within ecology, evolution, physiology, systematics and combinations of these fields in order to understand the impact of natural and anthropogenic changes of the environment.
Subject area
Biology
Duties
Employment as a postdoctor aims to give recent PhD graduates the opportunity to consolidate and develop their research skills. Techniques used within the project will involve telemetry (passive integrated transponder, stationary antennas and acoustic telemetry) as well as monitoring of Eelgrass using techniques such as cameras, underwater drones and tethering. The work duties will to a large extent be performed in the field. Specific research topics associated with the research project include habitat use, migration and behavioral ecology. It is also possible to join other ongoing projects within the larger INTERREG project, time allowing.
In addition to research, the postdoc can participate and engage in teaching activities at the department if desired (up to a maximum of 20% of full time).
