Post-doc Position on : Predicting the impact of climate change on plant species distribution in Europe
The ECOSPAT lab (http://www.unil.ch/ecospat) is looking for a motivated young scientist to work on the European ECOCHANGE project (http://www.ecochange-project.eu). The candidate will work on improving predictions of climate change impact on plant species distribution in Europe but also at more local scale in the Alps and the Arctic. Species data have already been or are currently sampled and a large set of environmental predictor is also already available. The candidate will additionally have to interact with graduate students on improving modelling tools and methodological aspects. The candidate should have expertise in spatial modelling of species distribution, and feel comfortable working with ArcGIS and the R statistical package. Good knowledge of botany and plant ecology, and particularly of the flora of the Alps and/or the arctic will be highly appreciated.
