2-year postdoc on ”The macroecology of grasses” at the Department of Bioscience, Aarhus University (Denmark)
The Department of Bioscience, Aarhus University invites applications for a 2-year postdoc position on ”The macroecology of grasses”. The project will focus on broad-scale patterns in the distribution of grasses with special attention to functional and phylogenetic patterns. We will also focus heavily on linking broad-scale patterns with properties of local vegetation. We hope to establish the grass family as a “model group” for macroecological studies, on par with the major vertebrate groups. Qualifications: We seek candidates with expertise in advanced statistical analysis and statistical programming, solid ecological background, strong collaborative skills, and a proven ability to publish at a high international level. Field experience, especially with grasses, is highly desirable. Where: Ecoinformatics & Biodiversity Group, Department of Bioscience, Aarhus University, Denmark. The Ecoinformatics & Biodiversity Group is a diverse, vibrant and international research community with strong collaborative, interdisciplinary ties within and beyond Aarhus University.
