PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Ecology in Finland

The Doctoral Researcher will join the Global Change and Biotic Interactions Ecology group at the University of Oulu to work in the Research Council of Finland-funded project “Mechanisms of Plant Biodiversity Change.” The project investigates why plant biodiversity responds differently to global change across sites and time, with a particular focus on the combined roles of spatial context, dispersal in space and time, biotic interactions, and intraspecific trait change. The research is designed t...

The Department of Biological and Environmental Science at the University of Jyväskylä is recruiting one doctoral researcher to join a project on disease ecology and zoonotic risk. The project uses a One Health perspective to examine how urbanisation and forest management shape wildlife–pathogen–human interactions across Finland’s urban, rural and forest environments. The doctoral researcher will work on quantitative analysis of large, heterogeneous ecological datasets, including long-term wildli...

This postdoctoral position is based in the Global Change and Biotic Interactions Ecology group at the University of Oulu and is part of the Research Council of Finland-funded project “Mechanisms of Plant Biodiversity Change” . The project is led by Prof. Anu Eskelinen and focuses on understanding why plant biodiversity changes unevenly across space and in response to global change. The successful researcher will work on questions about the mechanisms shaping plant community change, including the...

The University of Turku is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to study how human mobility and infectious disease spread have been shaped by ecological and social factors. The position is based in the Department of Biology and is part of the Human Diversity Centre of Excellence, an interdisciplinary research consortium funded by the Research Council of Finland. The project investigates past human contacts, including migration rates between local communities, and how these movements influenced the ...

The Department of Biological and Environmental Science at the University of Jyväskylä is seeking a doctoral researcher in disease ecology. The position is framed as a fixed-term research appointment intended to support completion of doctoral studies, within an international and multidisciplinary environment. The department highlights research spanning biodiversity, environmental systems, and biological processes from the molecular and cellular level to communities and ecosystems. The opening is ...

The University of Oulu is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher in Conservation Genomics to join the Ecology and Genetics Research Unit in the Faculty of Science. The researcher will contribute to the European Union LIFE SOS project, which supports the long-term survival of the critically endangered Saimaa ringed seal ( Pusa saimensis ), a species found exclusively in Lake Saimaa, Finland. The project combines genetic research, population modelling, and practical conservation to help increase the se...

The University of Jyväskylä in Finland is recruiting a full-time, funded Doctoral Researcher in Disease Ecology for 42 months. The project will investigate how urbanisation and forest management shape wildlife–pathogen interactions and zoonotic disease risk. Using a One Health approach, the doctoral researcher will integrate ecological and environmental datasets with quantitative methods, contributing to research in disease ecology, quantitative ecology, epidemiology, biostatistics and public he...
