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...

About this position

This postdoctoral position at CNRS is part of the ECO-EVO BIODIV project, which develops an integrative eco-evolutionary approach to understanding biodiversity and its dynamics. The project brings together concepts and methods spanning biodiversity levels, biological groups, intra- and interspecific variation, and the spatial and temporal processes that shape them.

The advertised research focuses on building and analysing theoretical models of simple trophic modules, such as a predator, two prey species, and a resource, in a spatial context. The aim is to study how intraspecific and interspecific interactions combine to structure coexistence through ecological and evolutionary processes, especially competition and predation. A particular emphasis is placed on the links between evolutionary dynamics and trophic assembly, with relevance to biological invasions.

The work will also connect theory with a long-term freshwater case study from Martinique within ECO-EVO BIODIV. The system involves a predatory crayfish and two snail species competing for a biofilm resource. The two snail species are clonally reproducing and ecologically and phylogenetically close, while the crayfish shows marked sexual dimorphism that affects predation. This invaded freshwater system offers a concrete setting for exploring how eco-evolutionary dynamics shape abundances, traits, invasion dynamics, niche displacement, and spatial effects across trophic levels.

The project is strongly theory-driven and relies on analytical modelling and simulation approaches, building on existing work developed by the host teams. The postdoctoral researcher will progressively develop eco-evolutionary models of increasing complexity to address the mechanisms underlying invasion, coexistence, and trait evolution in trophic chain modules.
