The Doñana Biological Station (Estación Biológica de Doñana, EBD; Seville, Spain) is seeking to incorporate postdoctoral researchers though the Juan de la Cierva program, financed by the Spanish government.
We are looking for researchers that have an excellent track record in evolutionary biology, conservation biology, ecology or global change. This opportunity is open to researchers of all nationalities, and we are particularly interested in cultural diversity. Candidates could apply to the following calls:

The Estación Biológica de Doñana is an institute of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). EBD has close to 200 employees, including 44 researchers, postdoctoral fellows, PhD students, field and lab technicians, and administrative personnel. EBD has several unique aspects:
- EBD manages two field reserves, one within Doñana National Park (Huelva, Spain) and the other in the Sierra de Cazorla, both devoted to ecological and evolutionary research.
- The field reserve in Doñana National Park is a Singular Scientific-Technical Infrastructure (ICTS-RBD) that offers services and facilities to researchers around the world.
- The institute, located in Seville, is equipped with six laboratories maintained by technical staff, that offer services to all researchers: Molecular Ecology, GIS and Remote Sensing, Chemical Ecology, Aquatic Ecology, Ecophysiology, Stable Isotopes.
- The institute has also an Animal Experimentation Unit and a green house. This includes 11 walk-in climatic chambers and animal care facilities. Our Animal Welfare personnel train and conduct certification courses for our personnel.
- The institute houses the second largest scientific collection in the country which focuses on vertebrates and includes almost 100,000 specimens.
- We actively participate in MSc and PhD programs at the University of Seville and Pablo de Olavide University. We also host PhD students from many other national and international universities as well.
- Despite the rich resources available to scientists at EBD, the main advantage of EBD is the quality of the researchers. Several of them are among the most cited researchers in their fields and are internationally recognized. EBD is currently looking to expand the number of investigators and lines of research through the recruitment of young, engaged and brilliant minds. EBD is welcoming researchers from all over the world.
