The overall goal of the project is to map biodiversity across the territory of French Guiana, for a range of taxonomic groups using innovative methods for detecting environmental variability in tropical forest environments. The objective will be to quantify
the environmental variation of the territory by combining environmental and remote sensing data. Databases of species occurrences have already been gathered using a range of methods and for several taxonomic groups (plants, arthropods, amphibians). Based on
this information, the post-doctoral research associate will implement spatial modeling of species community composition, and explore the determinants of species diversity variation across taxa at regional scale. We expect to develop novel approaches of spatial
biodiversity modeling tailored for tropical forest environments. The position is open at the EDB research unit (Evolution et Diversité Biologique: <a href="http://www.edb.ups-tlse.fr/" style="color:purple" target="_blank">http://www.edb.<wbr>ups-tlse.fr</a>)
