At the Ecology Centre of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), in Uppsala, Sweden, we conduct research on populations, communities and ecosystems. We generate knowledge on how land use and climate affects animals, plants, nutrient cycling and greenhouse gas balance, and develop sustainable solutions for the future. Active outreach and frequent dialogue with stakeholders are key activities.

Modern methods for the autonomous recording of audio generates datasets so massive that they can only be analysed by automated techniques. In project LIFEPLAN, we develop state of the art algorithms for the processing of thousands of years of audio recordings. After generating efficient algorithms for the identification of bird calls, we are now turning our attention to bats. The postdoctoral researcher will compile reference libraries of bat calls from different parts of the world, annotate and validate species identifications, and coordinate the generation of automated techniques for bat call identification.
Your profile
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate pursuing an academic career in ecology with a solid interest in bats and bat ecology. A PhD on bat ecology is required. The successful candidate must hold excellent skills in bat recognition from their calls, solid knowledge of the bat fauna of the world, and an established network of collaborators with access to extensive bat recordings. Prior involvement in the development of automated methods for bat identification is a requirement.
The candidate is expected to be capable and willing to take initiative and work independently as well as in a team. Excellent communication skills in English are required. As postdoctoral appointments are career-developing positions for junior researchers, we are primarily looking for candidates with a doctoral degree from the last three years. We put strong emphasis on personal character including good collaborative skills.
