Postdoctoral position (2 years) in stream/riparian biodiversity and ecosystem functioning
The Stream Ecology group, within the Department of Ecology and Environmental Science, investigates patterns and processes in stream environments, i.e. factors that drive stream biodiversity and the importance of stream biodiversity for stream ecosystem processes. The majority of the research is performed on benthic organisms and on leaf litter decomposition. The holder of the present position should carry out research on the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in the aquatic-terrestrial interface, with focus on how movements of nutrients across the ecosystem boundary may drive biodiversity and thereby influence ecosystem functioning. Previous experience from working with aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates, and with isotope analyses, is an advantage, but not a prerequisite.
