Käy työnantajan sivullaThe Faculty of Science at the University of Turku invites applications for contract-based, fixed term postdoctoral researcher position. Employment starts on 1.8.2024 or as agreed and lasts for two years.
The postdoctoral researcher will join the project "Evolution of landscapes, rivers and biota in Amazonia". The project is funded by the Research Council of Finland and is carried out in collaboration with several research institutes in Europe, Brazil and USA.
The overall aim of the project is to understand spatial distribution patterns of animals and plants in Amazonian rainforests in the light of evolutionary and biogeographical processes that may have driven their diversification. Attention is paid especially to the geological and climatical history of the area, dispersal barriers they may have created, and current as well as past environmental heterogeneity. To obtain a generalized view, the project addresses distributional patterns and population genomic structure of several plant and animal groups in parallel.
Key Responsibilities:
In the Department of Biology, we explore life and biological evolution in a range of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Empirical experimentation in the field and laboratory is widely applied when digging into the structure and function of individuals, populations, communities and ecosystems. The Department of Biology is one of the scientifically most productive units of the University and successfully educates experts at all degree levels. It also harbors the Center of Evolutionary Applications that supports academic research and provides molecular genetic analyses for conservation needs outside the University.
In the Faculty of Science, we seek the truth and develop solutions for sustainable future and intelligent society. Science Fiction becomes reality.
The University of Turku is an inspiring and international academic community of 25,000 students and staff in Southwest Finland. We build a sustainable future with multidisciplinary research, education, and collaboration. With us, your work will have a significant impact and relevance in the changing world.
