For an interdisciplinary project, funded through the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), on “BioD Forex: Multiple taxa BIODiversity thresholds: Ecological and financial benefits and caveats of FORest EXploitations” the Leibniz IZW, together with its partner, Assistant Professor Rahel Sollmann, at the Department of Wildlife Fish & Conservation Biology of the University of California Davis, offer a quantitative ecologist PostDoc position. The position will be housed at the IZW, within the Junior Research Group "Biodiversity and Biogeography of Southeast Asia", which studies the highly threatened mammal community of Southeast Asia using a multidisciplinary combination of state of the art in-situ field research (camera-trapping and leech screening for host DNA), novel molecular tools, advanced computational simulations and modelling, and high- resolution satellite images. This position will focus on the development and application of modern approaches to analyse survey data for different wildlife communities. Parts of the work will be to develop a unified sampling strategy for multiple taxa (terrestrial mammals using camera-traps, bats, amphibians, plants and arthropods), suitable for data analysis with community models.
