Master 2 Internship in Aquatic Biodiversity and Wetland Functioning CNRS in France

The Alpine Ecology Laboratory (LECA), a joint research unit of the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), Grenoble Alpes University, and Savoie Mont Blanc University, is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a project on the recent upslope shift of the treeline in the Alps and the Pyrenees. The project will examine how vegetation history, historical forests, land-use changes, and present-day site conditions have shaped recent changes in the upper forest limit. One research object...

Sapienza University of Rome is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the HORIZON project NatureRestoreR , hosted in the Biodiversity & Global Change Lab . The project aims to develop flexible ecological modelling tools that can help EU authorities design and optimize effective nature restoration plans. The postdoc will work on species distribution modelling at fine spatial scales using advanced approaches such as nSDM and iSDM across Europe. The role is strongly quantitative and is well suite...

Eawag, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, is offering a Master’s thesis project in chironomid biodiversity across Swiss lakes. The project is linked to the Swiss National Assessment of Lake Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (SNALBES) , an initiative focused on building a stronger scientific basis for monitoring biodiversity in Swiss lakes and connecting research with conservation and management needs. The student will work with chironomids collected during the plann...

ERC-funded postdoctoral position in plankton bio-geochemistry for the ChORhizO project at Université du Littoral Côte d'Opale , with work connected to LEMAR (Brest) and LOG (Wimereux) in France . The project is announced by Dr. Tristan Biard and Dr. Jill Sutton and is aimed at candidates interested in marine and plankton biogeochemistry, especially trace-element cycling and related analytical work. Research focus: plankton bio-geochemistry, marine bio-geochemistry, trace-element geochemistry, IC...

This postdoctoral project studies the recent upward shift of the upper forest limit in the Alps and the Pyrenees. The work examines how long-term vegetation history, past land-use change, and the ecological characteristics of colonised sites shape current forest-edge dynamics. The research is organised around two linked scientific goals. First, the project will connect forest-limit trajectories since 1850 with more recent changes detected by remote sensing, with particular attention to the legac...
