Postdoctoral researcher in Department of Biology, University of Turku
(position # 6662)
Details and the electronic application is found from
https://www.utu.fi/en/university/come-work-with-us/open-vacancies
Postdoctoral researcher fixed-term employment for the period 1.2.2019 -
31.8.2020
The applicant will work as part of the international project "Future Bird
Scenarios" scheduled to begin in 2019 with funding from the BiodivERsA-Belmont
Forum. The project aims to understand how future environmental change will
affect avian distributions and the important ecosystem services that birds
provide to human society. We will combine information on bird numbers from
national survey programs and citizen science projects along with geographic
data on land use, climatic conditions, and networks of conservation reserves.
The project contains four integrated work packages of which the post-doctoral
researcher in Turku will participate primarily in work package 1: Identifying
the functional traits that best predict the effects of environmental change on
bird distributions with emphasis on waterbirds (Jon Brommer, Univ. of Turku,
Finland). Other workpackages are 2) assessing the risks for mountain birds
where changes in land use and climate change are impacting alpine habitats
(Brett Sandercock, NINA, Norway, and Åke Lindström, Lund Univ., Sweden); 3)
determining if current networks of protected areas are sufficient for future
conservation needs (Aleksi Lehikoinen, Univ. Helsinki, Finland), and 4)
identifying whether cross-seasonal interactions between breeding and
nonbreeding seasons will affect avian responses to global change (Tomas Pärt,
SLU, Sweden). The postdocs will work in collaborative teams across the
consortium partners and with collaborators at Cornell University (Wesley
Hochachka, Cornell, USA).
Qualifications: Essential qualifications for all applicants will include:
1) a PhD degree in quantitative ecology, statistics, or a related discipline;
2) evidence of research productivity, with publications in the peer-reviewed
literature; and 3) good communication skills, with fluency in English. Desired
qualifications will include technical skills in one or more of the following
areas: 1) ornithology, with a foundation of knowledge in the ecology of birds;
2) quantitative ecology, with experience in computer programming, hierarchical
models in a Bayesian framework, and testing for ecological predictors of
organismal responses; 3) data science, with experience in working with large
complex datasets or with species distribution modeling; and 4) geographic
sciences, with experience at acquiring and compiling geographic data and GIS
layers from different sources.
The salary for the post is determined in accordance with the university
salary system for teaching and research personnel. The task specific salary
component for the postdoctoral researcher is 2507,62 - 3386,00 euro per month
(according to level 4-6 of the job demands chart). In addition, a personal work
performance component will be paid. The personal work performance component is
a maximum of 50 % of the task specific salary component. The salary will be
specified and negotiated when preparing the employment contract.
The post is subject to a six month trial period.
Applications must be submitted 11th January 2019 at the latest via the
electronic application form of the University of Turku. The link to the
electronic application system is found at the beginning of this announcement
(Apply for the job). The application must include a letter of motivation, CV, a
list of publications, contact details to one or two persons who can provide a
reference, and may in addition include other documents that may affect the
fulfillment of the assignment. All documents are to be in English.
