Postdoc and PhD positions in Forest Landscape Restoration and climate-biodiversity research Newcastle University in United Kingdom

Professor Marion Pfeifer at Newcastle University announces upcoming recruitment for two postdoc positions and two PhD positions in her research lab.

The roles will be part of the new ERC Advanced Grant project TIF-CER, which aims to develop the first predictive theory of how trees embedded in agricultural landscapes regulate climate risk and biodiversity across scales. The project emphasizes replacing assumptions with mechanisms and data, and building a framework that can be transferred across continents and climates.

Research will involve fieldwork in multiple countries, including the UK, Italy, the Philippines, Tanzania, and Morocco (among others). This makes the opportunity especially relevant for candidates interested in forest landscape restoration, ecology, agroecology, landscape ecology, biodiversity, and climate-related environmental research.

No formal eligibility details, deadlines, or funding amounts are provided yet; the post says to look out for the adverts. Interested applicants should monitor the project link and the university recruitment channels for the official calls.
