Jobs & Appointments

We are seeking to appoint 2 Postdoctoral Researchers in the field of Socio-Ecological Systems Modelling for a period of 2 years. Based within the School of GeoSciences at the University of Edinburgh, you will join a team of researchers studying the effects of environmental change on land use, the impacts of climate change on rural and urban environments and how people will adapt to these changes. We explore these themes at multiple temporal and spatial scales using different methods such […]

Postdoc position in spatial structure (Req #140062) The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Princeton University invites applications for a post-doctoral position to work with Professors Corina Tarnita and Simon Levin on projects with special focus on spatial structure and its effects. The three main directions of research include but are not restricted to: (i) the effects of spatial patterning (e.g., as induced by self organization of social insect nests) on ecosystems and […]
