Subject: Open position - Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Effects of Climate Change
and Biodiversity on Experimental Seagrass Ecosystems
Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Effects of Climate Change and Biodiversity on
Experimental Seagrass Ecosystems
Closing date 2020-02-09
Type of employment: fixed-term employment, two years
Extent: 100 %
Location: Department of Marine Sciences, Tjärnö, Sweden
First day of employment: Date/as soon as possible or upon agreement
Reference number: (genereras automatiskt)
The Department of Marine Sciences at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden,
invites applications for a Post Doctoral Researcher to work on the effects of
biodiversity on the responses of experimental seagrass ecosystems to
fluctuating environmental drivers and marine climate change.
Project description
We seek a skilled and dedicated Postdoctoral research fellow to advance and
develop experimental research into the effects of intras-specific genetic
diversity on the resilience of simplified seagrass mesocosms to simulated
climate change and environmental fluctuations. This work is funded by FORMAS,
the Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development, and is part of a
larger project comprising parallel initiatives in Finland (Åbo) and Norway
(Tromsø). Specifically, the project will: i) quantify the effects of
intraspecific genetic diversity on the resilience of model seagrass ecosystems
to both abiotic and biotic stressors, and; ii) investigate how naturally
fluctuating future climates influence that relationship.
Job assignments
The successful applicant will work in close collaboration with senior
researchers at the Tjärnö Marine Laboratory as well as other researchers and
PI’s within the broader international project. The postdoc will primarily be
responsible for refining, developing, and running mesocosm experiments,
sampling protocols and programs, data-analysis and writing manuscripts. The
work will be based at the Tjärnö Marine Laboratory at the University of
Gothenburg outside Strömstad (https://loven.gu.se/english), but may also
include field and/or laboratory work at partner sites in Finland and northern
Norway.
