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 South Africa invites applications for a three-year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in vegetation ecology within the Applied Behavioural Ecology & Ecosystem Research Unit (ABEERU), Department of Environmental Sciences. The fellow will be hosted jointly by Professor L.R. Brown and Dr Haemish Melville and will contribute to interdisciplinary research across savanna and grassland ecosystems. The fellowship includes research on the ecological effects of megafaunal carcass decomposi...

This postdoctoral position at La Rochelle Université focuses on quantitative ecology within a project developing a digital twin approach for marine ecology and conservation. The work builds on an existing simulation framework for individual movement trajectories and aims to move from individual-scale predictions to population-scale dynamics. The researcher will develop quantitative and statistical methods to aggregate simulated individual trajectories into population-level patterns of movement a...
