Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden Göteborgs Universitet Full time
Research Opportunities

The University of Gothenburg is a leading research institution offering a unique opportunity for a doctoral student to conduct research in the field of plant ecology. The department of Biological and Environmental Sciences (BioEnv) provides a dynamic and collaborative environment for students to develop their skills and expertise.

This PhD position focuses on understanding the effects of climate warming-driven changes in pollinator communities, the timing of flowering, and their interaction on plant reproduction and plant community dynamics in the Swedish Arctic tundra. The study will employ historical data, experiments, and time-lapse camera images to investigate specific objectives.

The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Anne Bjorkman and have opportunities for collaboration with other researchers at the University of Gothenburg, Lund University, and Aarhus University. The project aims to provide valuable insights into the complex relationships between plants and pollinators in changing environments.

Key Responsibilities
  • Conduct research on pollinator communities and plant reproduction in the Swedish Arctic tundra
  • Analyze data using quantitative ecology methods, including hierarchical modeling and molecular techniques
  • Develop and implement experiments to investigate the effects of climate change on pollinator communities
  • Collaborate with colleagues from various institutions to advance the research goals
Required Skills and Qualifications

To be eligible for this position, applicants must possess a Master's degree in Ecology or a related field and demonstrate a solid background in plant ecology or conservation biology. The ideal candidate should have experience with data analysis and programming in R, particularly linear and generalized linear hierarchical models. Additionally, expertise in plant phenology and/or plant-pollinator interactions is highly desirable.

Aptitude for critical thinking, creativity, and organizational skills are essential for managing a large project with fieldwork over several summers. Experience conducting fieldwork in challenging environments, such as cold and remote locations, is also necessary. Excellent communication skills in English, both written and oral, are required.
