Subject: Postdoc and Technician - Food Web Modelling
Postdoc and Technician - Beckerman Lab, Sheffield - Food Webs.
Towards a general theory of ecological impacts of multiple, simultaneous
stressors.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
We have an exciting opportunity for scientists with a passion for food web
biology and modelling to make an impact on developing and challenging theory
about how environmental change affects communities and ecosystems.
The project involves modelling population and community responses to multiple
simultaneous forms of stress using state of the art bio-energetic food web and
foraging models. The project will capitalise on a newly established modelling
framework to perform computer experiments that explore the distribution of
additive and interactive effects caused by multiple stressors. We will build
models that allow biological mechanisms, at multiple scales, to determine if
stressor effects add up or not. We will generate theory about predictability
and the generality of multiple stressor effects.
We are looking for a PDRA with a PhD in Ecology or related fields and with
mathematical modelling experience. We are looking for a Technician with a
degree in Ecology/Biology and experience and interest in food webs and
quantitative ecology. We welcome applicants worldwide.
The Beckerman Lab (https://andbeck.github.io/beckslab/index.html) has a long
history of working on species interactions and food web biology. The project
will build on our contributions to understanding how foraging biology underpins
the structure and complexity of food webs (PNAS 2006, 2008).
The project is led by Dr. Andrew Beckerman with an international team of
researchers supporting modelling (Tim Poisot, Montreal ; Julia Blanchard,
Tasmania), multi-stressor and prediction research (Dr. Owen Petchey, Zurich)
and challenging models with data (Ute Jacob, Hamburg; Tom Webb, Sheffield). You
will join an exciting ecology and evolutionary biology research group in the
Department of Animal and Plant Sciences at the University of Sheffield focused
on advancing knowledge and understanding of how ecosystems function and respond
to environmental change over long and short time periods.

Hi Andrew,
can you send this as a email with links instead. The ecology list does not take

Dear all
I am recruiting a postdoc and technician for a NERC-UK funded three year
project on food webs:
Towards a general theory of ecological impacts of multiple, simultaneous
stressors.
I would appreciate you bringing this to the attention of candidates you might
know/have with modelling and database experience and an interest in
challenging models with data. The research team includes Owen Petchey, Julia
Blanchard, Tim Poisot and Ute Jacob and Tom Webb.
I attach a PDF description of the project with links to jobs.ac.uk for
applications.
Best wishes,
Andrew
