The Department of Bioscience, Aarhus University (Denmark) invites applications for two 1- or 1.5- year postdoc positions on biodiversity monitoring of birds or plants using remote sensing data. The positions will start 1 October 2015, or as soon as possible.
The postdocs will be part of BACI (http://baci-h2020.eu/), a large EU Horizon 2020 project that will produce improved ecosystem state measurements based on remote sensing data. The main role of the postdocs will be to investigate possible links between remote sensing-based estimates of ecosystem change and changes in diversity, population sizes and distributions of birds or plants. There will be opportunities to collaborate intensively with researchers within the BACI project according to the interests of the postdoc. 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 with birds or plants and/or experience with remote sensing data is also desirable. Where: Section for Ecoinformatics & Biodiversity, Department of Bioscience, Aarhus University, Denmark. The Section for Ecoinformatics & Biodiversity is a diverse, vibrant and international research community with strong collaborative, interdisciplinary ties within and beyond Aarhus University. More information about the people and research activities of the group can be found at http://bios.au.dk/en/about-bioscience/organisation/ecoinformatics-and-biodiversity/ Applications are due August 15, 2015.
