2 weeks ago


Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Københavns Universitet Full time

Job Summary: The University of Copenhagen invites applications for a 2-year Postdoctoral position to investigate the ecological impact of cyanobacteria on emerging insects in freshwater ecosystems.

Research Project: The project "CyaNoServices" aims to understand the effects of cyanobacterial blooms on freshwater resource provisioning and habitat provisioning for emerging insects. The postdoc will evaluate the multiple mechanisms by which harmful cyanobacterial blooms can affect the emerging insect community via changes in habitat quality.

Responsibilities: The postdoc will support field sampling of ponds with colleagues in Sweden and isolate emerging insect larvae. The postdoc will maintain the insect larvae and life-history experiments across different trophic levels.

Requirements: We are looking for candidates with a strong background in Aquatic Ecology or Limnology. Experience with large-scale experimental design and execution is advantageous. The candidate should have a curious and creative mind-set with a strong interest in working with organisms and in the field. Excellent data analysis, communication, presentation, and academic writing skills in English are required.

What We Offer: The University of Copenhagen promotes research and teaching of the highest international standard. We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment. The position is open from 1 February 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter.
