Post-Doctoral Research fellowship | CIBIO-InBIO

Scientific Area: Ecology, Biology.

Required background and skills:
Two alternative profiles are suitable for this post:
Profile 1 – PhD in Mathematics or Physics. Solid skills in applied modelling of network-related dynamics. Good programming skills are a must. Strong motivation for working in ecological problems is highly appreciated.
Profile 2 - PhD in Biology, Ecology and related fields. Solid background in dispersal ecology with proven experience in environmental modelling, numerical analysis of ecological data and macroecology. Good programming skills are a must. Proven knowledge of network dynamics is highly appreciated.
Language: English as a first or second language is required.
Publication record: Candidates are expected to have a good publication record in internationally refereed journals.
 
Working Plan: The successful candidate will work mainly on the development of risk models for bird invasions. The modelling is expected to be spatially and temporally explicit and will use available data on networks of bird trade and other appropriate environmental and socio-economic predictors.

Place of work: CIBIO/InBIO – Instituto Superior de Agronomia, University of Lisbon.
 
Duration and Starting date: 12 months, starting in May 2017 (starting date is flexible), with the possibility of renovation (total duration 20,5 months).

Application: The call for applications is open from 11th April to 25th April 2017.
