2-year postdoc at the Dept 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. More information
