*Job description: Spatial modeling of Amazonian biodiversity (post-doctoral
research associate)*


We are seeking a post-doctoral research associate to collaborate on a
project funded by the Laboratory of Excellence CEBA (Center for the study
of Biodiversity in Amazonia; www.labex-ceba.fr/en/). 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: http://www.edb.ups-tlse.fr) located in
Toulouse France. Field trips in French Guiana are to be expected. Principal
collaborators will be Dr Jérôme Chave (http://chave.ups-tlse.fr) and Dr.
Jérôme Murienne (http://jmurienne.ups-tlse.fr).


The position is expected to start on January 2017 or earlier. Salary will
be commensurate with experience according to the CNRS.


*Qualifications:*

The successful applicant should hold a PhD in ecology and/or environmental
science, and is expected to bring strong skills in remote sensing analysis
and to have prior knowledge in community ecology modeling.


*How to apply: *

Interested applicants should submit a complete application package no later
than October 15th, 2016, to Amaia Iribar, Université Toulouse III Paul
Sabatier, Laboratoire EDB UMR5174, Toulouse 31062 cedex 9, France (e-mail:
amaya.pelozuelo at univ-tlse3.fr). Application package: CV, statement of
research interests and accomplishments, including the contact information
for three referees. Incomplete applications will not be examined.
