Post-doc in data analysis and modelling of interaction between ecological, environmental and genetic variables (Cod. 037_AMB_PDEEGV)
Published 18th May 2009
The newly reorganized Environment Department at Edmund Mach Foundation (FEM) conducts research aimed at sustaining the natural environment of the alpine region of Trentino.
The ACE-SAP (Alpine Ecosystems in a Changing Environment: Biodiversity Sensitivity and Adaptive Potential) Major Proposal is a collaborative project funded by the Autonomous Province of Trento involving three regional institutions (Edmund Mach Foundation, Natural History Museum of Trento, Civic Museum of Rovereto) and one external partner (University of Davis, California). It is intended to address four major aspects of biodiversity research by using the territory of an alpine region, Trentino, as an “outdoor laboratory”:
- the study and conservation of endangered/endemic taxa representing unique and not replaceable components of the biological diversity of the region;
- the direct consequences to the human population inhabiting this region that biodiversity changes or loss may involve;
- the study of selected ecological and genetic mechanisms implemented by living organisms to adapt to environmental drivers of stress;
- the measurement, with state of the art tools, of the current levels of biodiversity to monitor, preserve, manage and exploit it in a sustainable way.
We are looking an highly motivated researcher that will carry out data analysis and modelling of interaction between ecological, environmental and genetic variables.
