Tenure-track/Senior researcher position for a Population Ecologist - NIOO-KNAW - Wageningen

We are looking for an enthusiastic scientist with several years of post-doctoral experience in an international context, an excellent track record in evolutionary or population ecology in terms of both publications and the acquisition of research grants, and experience in supervision of PhD students. You are expected to develop exciting new research questions and build a strong research line within the department, with clear links to the research of the other scientists at AnE (see https://nioo.knaw.nl/en/department-animal-ecology ) and to play an active role within the Department, the NIOO research themes and the institute. Importantly, your research will make extensive use of AnE’s unique long-term research on populations of hole-breeding passerines in the wild (four populations, 1955-present) focusing on the interface between individual- and population-level research. With this appointment, AnE aims to promote diversity and inclusion. As such, women and people from underrepresented and minority groups are especially encouraged to apply.

Scientists at the NIOO have no obligation to teach at University level, but supervision of external Master’s and PhD students is expected as part of normal research activity. Scientific communication is carried out in English, so knowledge of the Dutch language is not a prerequisite for this position, but a commitment to learning the language is expected in longer-term staff.
