The role combines original research with publication, collabora...

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 a Doctoral Researcher to work on an evolutionary biology project focused on how natural selection and sexual selection interact to shape diversification in natural populations over contemporary timescales. The project gives the doctoral researcher freedom to develop research within this broader framework, using the freshwater isopod Asellus aquaticus as an empirical model system. This species offe...

Tampere University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Economics to join the Finnish Centre of Excellence in Tax Systems Research (FIT) and the Economics discipline within the Faculty of Management and Business. FIT investigates the effects and design of public policy across a broad range of areas, including public finance, labor economics, health economics, environmental economics and industrial organization. The centre’s research combines empirical, experimental and theo...
