Postdoctoral research scholarship in Landscape Ecology
Postdoctoral research scholarship in Landscape Ecology
at the Department of Physical Geography and Quaternary Geology, Stockholm University. Rref.no. 463-15-09. Final date for applications: March 31, 2009.
The Department of Physical Geography and Quaternary Geology is one of the major departments within the Faculty of Science at Stockholm University. The department has 120 employees and approximately 1500 students. The main research disciplines are Geomorphology, Glaciology, Climatology, Quaternary Geology, Hydrology, Remote Sensing, Geographical Data Processing, Ecological Geography and Tropical Geography. Teaching is oriented towards geography, earth sciences, geosciences and environmental protection.
Project description: We invite applications for a two-year post-doctoral scholarship within the topic of: Modelling plant species dispersal in fragmented landscapes, at the Department of Physical Geography and Quaternary Geology. The overall objective is to understand how past and present land use influence species dispersal and diversity in fragmented landscapes with a high human impact. Specific objectives are to create a suitable modelling platform for modelling plant dispersal at a landscape scale, and to model plant species dispersal based on dispersal traits in real landscape with different pattern and human impact.
The study will be carried out in close collaboration with PhD-students and a senior researcher within the landscape ecology group at the Department of Physical Geography and Quaternary Geology. Our main research focus is historical land use influence on dispersal and diversity of grassland species in rural landscapes, and analysing land use changes, plant functional types and species turnover and dispersal in the archipelago. We have field sites in the Stockholm archipelago and also in rural landscapes on the mainland. The work is cross-disciplinary with close collaborations with human geography and the different ecology departments at Stockholm University.
Qualifications for the research scholarship are a PhD in Biology or Ecology or closely related discipline, and good qualifications in geographical information systems and spatial statistics. The applicant needs to have a PhD not older than 5 years from a non-Swedish university.
Latest starting date is September 1, 2009.
Applications labelled “Postdoc ref.no. 463-15-09” should be posted to the address below and be post marked no later than March 31, 2009. Applications should include a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, copies of degree certificates and transcripts of academic records (all attested) and a list of two persons who may act as references (with phone numbers and email addresses).
