PhD Research Fellow in palaeoecology and global change ecology.

There is a vacancy for a PhD Research Fellow in palaeoecology and global change ecology at the University of Bergen’s Department of Biological Sciences within the Ecological and Environmental Change Research Group. The position is for a fixed-term period of 3 years with the possibility of a 4th year with compulsory other work (e.g. teaching duties at the Department), with funding from the University of Bergen. The PhD supervision will be supervised by Associate Professor Alistair Seddon and Professor John-Arvid Grytnes, under the research theme of palaeoecology and global change ecology.

About the project/work tasks:

Palaeoecological data (e.g. subfossil pollen extracted from lake and bog sediments) provides vital information about the dynamics and functioning of past ecosystems. As part of a recent project at the Department of Biological Sciences, Humans on Planet Earth – Long-term impacts on biosphere dynamics (HOPE), members of EECRG have generated a set of reproducible workflows to compile palaeoecological datasets globally (e.g. Flantua et al. 2023, https://doi.org/10.1111/geb.13693). These workflows are now ready to be used to tackle macroecological, biogeographical and palaeoecological research questions (see, e.g. Mottl et al. 2021, https://doi.org/10.1126/science.abg1685). The goal of this project is to further explore opportunities based on the outputs from the HOPE-project, focussing on questions related to global change, ecological dynamics, macroecology, and human impacts on past ecosystems.

The specific research questions of the PhD project will be co-designed by the students and supervisors to carry out research under the themes of global change ecology, macroecology, and palaeoecology. We are open to topics suggested by the candidate, but research topics of interest that would be encouraged by the supervisors are: (i) the links between ecosystem sensitivity and resilience and planetary boundaries, (ii) temporal variability of macroecological patterns (e.g. range size distributions or various aspects of broad scale biodiversity change); (iii) identifying the effects of human impact on ecosystem properties and functioning.

Qualifications and personal qualities:

• Applicants must hold a Master`s degree or an equivalent education within quantitative palaeoecology, ecology, biogeography, or a related field, or must have submitted his/her master`s thesis for assessment prior to the application deadline. It is a condition of employment that the master’s degree has been awarded.
• Experience in quantitative analyses of palaeoecological or ecological data using the statistical software R, as well as documented skills in one or more research fields relevant to the position is a requirement.
• Applicants must be highly motivated and understand the relevance of working with palaeoecological data in a macroecological or palaeoecological context, and to follow through challenging ideas.
• Experience in the handling of large databases is an advantage. 
• It is beneficial to have a background in one or more of the following research fields: Palaeoecology, global change ecology, biogeography, macroecology, community ecology, biodiversity science, applied statistics.
• A desire to work independently and codesign a research project is a requirement.
• Applicants must be able to work in a structured manner and have the ability to cooperate with others within EECRG, and the broader community related to the previous HOPE project.
• Pro-active problem-solving skills is an advantage.

PhD Research Fellow in Climate impacts on the biodiversity and functioning of alpine soil ecosystems

UiB – Knowledge that shapes society

Through robust and close interaction with the world around us – globally, nationally and locally – we shall be instrumental in building a society based on knowledge, skills and attitudes.

Do you want to take part in shaping the future?

PhD research fellow position within plant and mycorrhizal ecology.

At the Department of Biological Sciences (BIO) there is a vacancy for a PhD research fellow position within plant and mycorrhizal ecology, focussing on the role of mycorrhizal and other trophic interactions in affecting mountain grasslands in a changing climate. The position is for a fixed term of three years, with the possibility of a fourth year with compulsory work (e.g. teaching duties at the Department. The position is connected to the project:  “FUNDER – Direct and indirect climate impacts on the biodiversity and FUNctioning of the UNDERground ecosystem” funded by the Research Council of Norway.

About the project/work tasks:

Climate change alters plant and soil communities, as well as processes and interactions in the plant-soil food web. These changes pose threats to biodiversity and key ecosystem functions such as productivity and carbon and nutrient cycling. To predict how biodiversity and ecosystem functioning will respond to future climatic changes, and how these changes will feed back to the climate system, profound knowledge of climate impacts on underlying ecological responses, processes, mechanisms, and interactions in the plant-soil food web is needed. FUNDER will assess and disentangle the direct effects of climate from the indirect effects, mediated through biotic interactions, on the diversity and whole-ecosystem functioning of the plant−soil food web. To achieve this, we use a powerful macroecological experimental approach to quantify the impacts of vegetation diversity on interactions and ecosystem functioning across factorial broad-scale temperature and precipitation gradients. This will allow us to gain a holistic understanding of ecosystem responses and feedbacks to climate change, including non-additive effects, context-dependencies across landscapes, compensatory effects and climate mismatches that may lead to disruption of biotic interactions. The research is made possible, and provides added value, through exploiting existing Norwegian field experimental infrastructures. The projects involve collaborations between plant ecologists, ecosystem biologists and modelers who will collaboratively synthesise results to enable process-level understanding and assessment of larger-scale and longer-term consequences including feedbacks to the climate system.

The PhD fellow will focus on the role of alpine soil microorganisms (soil bacteria, soil and mycorrhizal fungi) in ecosystem responses and feedbacks to climate. The work will be based around data from climate and plant functional group manipulations in a distributed field experiment, conducted with other project participants. Applicants will:

• Analyse samples from the core FUNDER experiment for soil bacteria and fungi and mycorrhizal fungi, and use relevant field and molecular techniques to conduct community and functional analyses.
• Assess microbial biomass production using ingrowth bags / litter bags.
• In collaboration with other project participants, measure other below-ground ecosystem functional parameters, e.g. based on below-ground plant parts and soil samples.
• Develop his/her own research questions and hypotheses related to these experiments and measurements.
• Collaborate with plant ecologists and climate scientists over synthesis and upscaling.
• Analyse data and write and publish research papers.

Qualifications and personal qualities:

• Applicants must hold a master`s degree or equivalent education within mycology, fungal ecology or a related field, or must have submitted his/her master’s thesis for assessment prior to the application deadline. It is a condition of employment that the master’s degree has been awarded.
• Knowledge and research experience with DNA-based assessments of microbial/fungal communities (DNA-metabarcoding), including know-how and experience in relevant bioinformatics approaches is a requirement.
• Ability to do field work in remote and climatically challenging alpine and/or Arctic areas is a requirement.
• Knowledge in community, ecosystem or global change ecology, and relevant statistical and analytical methods, including skills in R, and data management skills following best reproducible open science practices is an advantage.
• Applicants must be able to work independently and in a structured manner and have the ability to cooperate with others.
• Applicants must be proficient in both written and oral English.

Personal and relational qualities will be emphasized. Research experience, ambitions and potential will also count when evaluating the candidates.
