Offer Description

Job position

We are seeking to appoint a part-time technician to work on the TIME-LINES project (Island TIME-LINES to quantify biodiversity change), funded under the ERC Consolidator 2021 call. We are looking for technician with demonstrated research expertise and interest in palaeoecology and willing to learn quantitative skills.

The main goal of TIME-LINES is to quantify on islands, ~5000 years of ranges of variability at local and global scale, with the ultimate aim to uncover geographical variation in plant biodiversity, both taxonomically and functionally, and the drivers of this change.

The TIME-LINES team is interested in island ecology and specially bringing palaeoecology and biogeography together to quantify how fast, where, and why biodiversity is changing. From these findings, we hope to address to what degree historically informed baselines and change trajectories have utility for sustainable biodiversity management.
