Dear colleagues and potential candidates, I am seeking to fill 2 PhD and 1 Postdoc position on improving predictions of (avian) biodiversity dynamics within the DFG project "BIOPIC - Disentangling the effects of demography, dispersal and biotic interactions on population and community response to global change". Working place will be Humboldt-University Berlin. Application deadline is extended to 9th March 2018. Positions are anticipated to start around April 2018 (negotiable).
The positions are: - PhD position 1: modelling species interactions (how do biotic interactions shape species’ niches?), 3 years - PhD position 2: modelling range dynamics (how do life history and demography shape species’ niches?), 3 years - PostDoc position: dispersal modelling, (how do life history and individual variation shape dispersal?), 3 years You can find more detailed descriptions here: https://damariszurell.github.io/files/BIOPIC_positions.pdf Please spread this job advert to interested candidates in your labs and networks. All the best, Damaris
