We are looking for a researcher who can assist in a project in which we are synthesizing the scientific knowledge about how ecological compensation affects species and the delivery of ecosystem services.
At the Department of Ecology in Uppsala, we conduct research for sustainable forest and agricultural production and efficient biological conservation. We study 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.

The employment includes systematic mapping and synthesis of research on the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services in wetlands and terrestrial environments through ecological restoration. You will participate in the work of systematically searching for relevant information in the international scientific literature. Here, together with several other researchers in the project, you will go through a large database of potentially relevant scientific literature. Specifically, this means reading a large number of scientific papers, first at the level of title and abstract, and then entire papers, to select relevant papers and to extract relevant meta-data for compilation. This information will be used to answer questions about situations (regarding species, habitats and measures) where restoration can be useful in an ecological compensation perspective. See also:

The applicant should hold a Ph D in ecology (or in a similar relevant subject), preferably within the last three years. Experience from the relevant research questions (landscape ecology, ecological compensation, conservation strategies, conservation biology in forests, urban land and agricultural landscapes in Northern Europe) is a merit. Experience from synthesis projects (systematic searches for scientific literature, writing review papers, taking part in groups conducting syntheses in applied research areas) is a merit. To have published scientifically in above-mentioned fields is a merit. The applicant is supposed to be able to work both independently and in a group. We put large weight to personal characteristics. 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.
