We have a vacant postdoctoral position in seabird and fish ecology. The position is part of the SEATRACK project, which aims to map the year-round distribution of 16 seabird species in the North Atlantic and understand how changes in environmental conditions affect their demography and population trajectories. The main tasks for this postdoctoral position are:
- identify potential prey species for seabirds in the North Atlantic throughout the year
- study the distribution of seabirds’ prey in relation to other ecosystem components and environmental parameters, and assess how these affect the distribution of seabirds
- develop scenarios predicting future prey distributions as a result of climate change and evaluate the subsequent impacts on seabird distribution
We would like you to concentrate your work on large-scale studies encompassing multiple species and locations with a focus on the non-breeding period.
