About this position

Radboud University is recruiting a four-year postdoc in ecological modelling for the Horizon Europe NatureRestoreR project. The position focuses on understanding ecological responses to nature restoration measures and evaluating the effectiveness of national nature restoration plans, with a particular emphasis on the Netherlands and selected European Member States.

The postdoc will work at the Department of Environmental Science within the Radboud Institute for Biological and Environmental Sciences (RIBES) in Nijmegen, Netherlands. The research combines biodiversity, ecosystem services, species traits, data collection, and quantitative ecological modelling. Main tasks include building and analysing a species-trait database, applying ecological modelling tools, contributing to project management, and supervising a PhD candidate. Up to 10% of working time may be devoted to teaching in the BSc/MSc Biology programmes.

Applicants must hold a PhD in ecology and have experience with quantitative analytical methods, such as statistical modelling or process-explicit ecological modelling. A strong foundation in R or Python is expected. The university also looks for candidates who are comfortable working in international, transdisciplinary teams and who have strong written and spoken English skills. Dutch is helpful but not required.

The role is a temporary employment contract starting with 1 year and a prospect of extension for 3 additional years. The salary is in scale 10, with a gross monthly range of €3,546–€5,538 based on experience, plus an 8% holiday allowance, 8.3% end-of-year bonus, extra leave days, flexible working arrangements, and other employee benefits.

Application deadline: 31 May 2026. First interviews are planned for 15, 17, and/or 18 June 2026. Preferred start date is 1 September 2026. Apply through the university vacancy page and address the letter to Aafke Schipper.
