A four year PhD project at the University of Turku (Turku, Finland) and supervised by Dr. Elie Gaget and Prof Jon E. Brommer, in collaboration with Dr. Martin Jung from IIASA (Laxenburg, Austria). The project will use information about the management practices funded under the EU LIFE programme inside Natura 2000 protected areas, and 40,000 abundance time series of almost 450 bird species (breeding and non-breeding) across Europe. Using hierarchical modelling based on local abundance time series, the candidate will quantify past and forecast future population changes with regards to interactions between conservation measures and climate warming. The framework will take into account species habitat preferences, functional traits and shifts in ecological niches over time to provide additional context to the expected species population changes.

You will join a SLU team working on the dynamics of fish communities and aquatic food webs, and their responses to climate change, exploitation and other human pressures.

The department of Arctic Biology at UNIS is seeking candidates for a full-time, 3-year position as a PhD fellow in Arctic Terrestrial Biology.

NIVA’s section for nature-based solutions and aquatic ecology is looking to expand its team of researchers. We wish to recruit a senior researcher, with experience in applied aquatic ecology (focusing on freshwaters) including e.g. restoration and nature-based solutions. You should have experience and willingness to work transdisciplinary, both nationally and internationally. You will join a section of currently 11 researchers, PhD students and research assistants, and will also cooperate with researchers across NIVA. You will be part of a highly skilled and interdisciplinary working environment. The position will report to the Research Manager of NIVA’s nature-based solutions and aquatic ecology section. The workplace will be at NIVA's head office in Oslo.
