*Senior Research Associate in Tropical Forest Ecology and Global
Change**Lancaster
Environment Centre
Salary:  *£31,331 to £36,298
*Closing Date:  *Wednesday 13 November 2013
*Interview Date:  *Wednesday 20 November 2013

An exciting opportunity exists for an experienced researcher to play a lead
role in a NERC (UK) & FAPESP (Sao Paulo, Brazil) funded research project
ECOFOR, Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning in degraded and recovering
Amazonian and Atlantic Forests. This NERC funded position will start in
January 2014 to September 2017 (with a possible extension to December 2017).

This post will be jointly funded by Environmental Change Institute,
University of Oxford, and Lancaster Environment Centre, but will also
communicate regularly with Brazilian project members. The project involves
collecting data on ecosystem carbon cycling and plant traits. Core duties
include a) planning and managing data collection in undisturbed, logged,
burned and secondary Amazonian forests, b) data analysis, c) assisting with
the supervision of students, d) reporting to the research team and e)
disseminating results through high impact scientific publications. You will
be expected to undertake the planning phase of the project at Lancaster and
will spend a significant period of time conducting and managing fieldwork
in the Brazilian Amazon, before moving to Oxford in the latter stages to
oversee the analysis and publication of key findings.

You should hold a PhD in an appropriate area (such as Ecology,
Environmental Science or Plant Physiology) and  have research expertise in
tropical forests and some experience of project management. You will be
self-motivated, collaborative and hold strong communication and
interpersonal skills. Ability to work independently is also essential. Good
knowledge of Portuguese is also highly desirable.

For EU/UK nationals the Research positions are a full-time role but the
post-holders will be given two separate part-time contracts of employment,
one with Lancaster University and one with the University of Oxford. The
two contracts will run in parallel for a fixed term of 4 years. For non-EU
nationals an alternative contractual arrangement would be undertaken to
comply with UK Border Agency rules, consisting of an initial 2-year
contract with Lancaster very likely to be followed by a 2-year contract
with Oxford.

Informal inquiries may be directed to Jos Barlow
jos.barlow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Yadvinder Malhi
yadvinder.malhi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx & Carlos Joly cjoly@xxxxxxxxxx

Interviews will be held on 20 November 2013. Interview by Skype is possible
for individuals unable to travel to Lancaster on that date.  This post is
available from January 2014.
