We are looking for a prospective postdoc in aquatic ecology/modelling in a competitive cluster hire at the Faculty of Science, University of South Bohemia in Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic.
Six postdoc positions are offered, each for 11 months with possibility of further extension. The positions start from 1 June 2018. Deadline for applications is on 5 February 2018. Our aquatic ecology group lead by Jaroslav Vrba and David Boukal is actively seeking candidates with expertise that complements of extends our own focus on consequences of human impacts such as climate change, habitat alteration and eutrophication on freshwater habitats and ecosystems. We combine laboratory and field experiments, long-term field studies and modelling to understand how environmental drivers shape individual life histories, species interactions, population dynamics and community assembly in standing freshwaters ranging from small pools to large reservoirs.
