Job Description
Human activities are driving environmental change at an unprecedented rate. These changes are reshaping ecological communities and imposing strong selection pressures, often leading to rapid adaptive responses. The ERC Starting Grant project “Tipping dynamics and resilience in adapting ecological systems” aims to understand how such adaptive responses influence ecological resilience.
In this project , the research assistant will support an experimental evolution study to examine how adaptation contributes to demographic, population- and community-level resilience.Using plankton communities as a model system, the project will examine how plastic and evolutionary changes in life-history traits affect population and community resilience across a gradient of environmental stress.
We are looking for a motivated candidate with a Bachelor or Master in evolutionary biology, ecology, or a closely related field. Experience with lab and field work with plankton an...
