Utrecht Universitys Ecology & Biodiversity Group investigates the mechanisms that regulate biodiversity and allow for the maintenance of ecosystem functioning in our changing world. We pay special attention to above- and belowground species interactions, spatial processes from local to landscape scales and community assembly following dispersal and colonization. We seek to obtain process-based, mechanistic understanding of species interactions and functional responses in order to predict the future impacts of climate and land-use changes on biodiversity and ecosystem functions such as carbon sequestration and biogeochemical cycling. The integrated research mission of the Ecology and Biodiversity group is Understanding and predicting biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in a changing world.
The Ecology & Biodiversity research group looks to advance its integrated research program (http://www.uu.nl/faculty/science/EN/contact/Researchinstitutes/IOEB/researc h/groups/eb/Pages/research.aspx) with the appointment of an enthusiastic and dedicated: ASSISTANT/ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR PLANT ECOLOGY For a more detailed job description and online application forms, please visit www.uu.nl/vacancies Application deadline: July 27th, 2014
