Postdoc estudiando los efectos del cambio climático en ecosistemas terrestres

Oferta compartida por Nuria

Global change is a major challenge for humankind. Developing an adequate policy to deal with it needs a deep understanding of its effects. And this is what we are devoted to in cambium research group: the study of the effects of global change on terrestrial ecosystems.

Our main research line relies on wood to gain a long-term temporal perspective of ecosystems response to the environment. Xylem encapsulates an annual record of the environment in which plants grew and how environment impacted them. So, we use dendrochronology and quantitative wood anatomy to evaluate responses of individuals and populations, going from individual plants to the landscape scale using remote sensing data (satellite, LiDAR) to have a larger spatial perspective of ecosystem responses. We also love mushrooms and aim at disentangling the factors behind fungi fruiting to predict present and future yields in a warmer and drier world.

We are looking for a postdoc researcher with experience in temporal series data, analysis capacities, a good publication tracking record and research independence. The candidate will incorporate to a dynamic research environment, with options to take part in teaching activities. Candidate will integrate to cambium group ongoing projects (https://www.cambiumresearch.eu/research/) with opportunities to develop his/her own research lines.

The contract will initiate in the second quarter of 2021. 

Contract length is 1+2 years and annual brute salary is 25,000€.
