Postdoc position:
Spatial patterning and community assembly across the tundra biome
Job Description:
In this postdoc project in the Faculty of Forestry at University of British Columbia, you will study community assembly in tundra ecosystems, revealing how tundra plant species form spatial patterns and how this confers resilience to global change across the tundra biome.
For this project, you will assemble spatially explicit datasets of plant community composition working with the point framing data from the International Tundra Experiment (ITEX+) database.
You will then statistically model vegetation change over time and in response to climate change drivers taking into account the spatial arrangement of tundra plants and the spatial patterning of ecosystem types in the surrounding landscape.
This research will test the hypothesis that certain spatial patterning can confer resilience to ecological change using approaches previously applied in savanna and dryland ecosystems.
This research will increase our understanding of tundra ecosystem resilience and will be used to predict rates of landscape and ecological change with global change across the tundra biome.
We collaborate with other PhD's, postdocs and senior researchers from the different involved universities to explore mathematical and physical models of the resulting data to address the larger project goals.
Minimum QualificationsA PhD degree in ecology, remote sensing, environmental sciences, data science, mathematics, statistics or a related field
Strong quantitative skills including ecological data analysis, statistical analysis and data management
Experience in R and/or Python programming
An interest in interdisciplinary research spanning the fields of ecology, remote sensing, spatial analysis and mathematical ecology
Experience in writing and publishing peer-reviewed articles
Fluency in verbal and written English
Excellent oral and written communication skills
Ability to work independently and lead multi-author collaborative research projects
Interest in working in an interdisciplinary and collaborative environment as a part of a diverse team
Willingness to provide mentorship to early career researchers on the team
Preferred Qualifications
Experience using version control software and conducting collaborative science
Willingness to lead fieldwork in Arctic locations
Knowledge of spatial analysis and Bayesian statistics
Experience conducting ecological data synthesis
Experience conducting fieldwork
Experience in northern ecosystems
Experience conducting ecological monitoring and/or experimental design
