1 PhD & 3 Postdoctoral Positions, French National Centre for Scientific Research, France (2017)

As part of CNRS-SETE, the Centre for Biodiversity Theory and Modelling, more specifically the Ecological Networks and Global Change group (http://www.cbtm-moulis.com/m-221-econetgc.html) which focuses its research on developing theories and experimental manipulations on the effects of different components of global change on biodiversity, network structure and dynamics, and ecosystem functioning, is seeking:

- A Postdoc in Theoretical Ecology. The applicant will work on linking temperature-dependent community dynamics and metacommunity theory. (Duration of the contract - 3 years).

- A Postdoc in Experimental Aquatic Ecology. The applicant will focus on biodiversity and community structure and dynamics in mesocosm experiments (Duration of the contract - 3 years).

- A Postdoc in Ecological Meta-Analysis. The applicant will analyse already existing data on the isolated and combined effects of climatic warming and habitat fragmentation (Duration of the contract - 2 years).

- A PhD student in Experimental Aquatic Ecology. The applicant will work on the effects of warming and fragmentation on ecosystem functioning on pelagic mesocosm experiments (Duration of the contract - 3 years).

- A Technician in Experimental Aquatic Ecology. The applicant will work on the sampling and maintenance of the mesocosm experiment (Duration of the contract - 4 years).

Most of these positions are part of the ERC Consolidator Grant FRAGCLIM “The combined effects of climatic warming and habitat fragmentation on biodiversity, community dynamics and ecosystem functioning” lead by Jose M. Montoya.
