CREAF is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work in the RESFIRE project (Assessing the potential of REStoring ecological FIRe regimes as Nature-based Solution to extreme wildfires in Mediterranean ecosystems) with ref. PID2023-152690OB-C21 and funded by MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 y por FEDER, UE, LIFE REINFORCEMENT project (Millora de les capacitats del projecte EuroBirdPortal per potenciar la seva contribució als objectius de la política de la UE sota la Directiva d'Ocells i la Estratègia de Biodiversitat 2030) with ref. LIFE22-PLP-ES-EBP reinforcement and funded european commission/Life Preparatory Projects and BIOAGORA project (Biodiversity Knowledge Agora: Developing the Science Service for European Research and Biodiversity Policymaking) with ref. 101059438 funded by European Commission.
This call seeks an experienced spatial modeller researcher with a strong background in spatial bird modelling and use of scenario projections to work on the future spatial dynamics of bird distributions under different scenarios of disturbance regimes at different spatial scales (from subnational to European). These novel projections will explore IPBES based Nature Positive Futures including rewilding (recovering of natural processes at the system level) which aim at significantly contributing to the core of policy relevant information targeting the implementation of the European Biodiversity Strategy 2030. Together with ICO ( Catalan Ornithological Institute, https://ornitologia.org/ca/ ) and EBCC ( European Bird Census Council, https://www.ebcc.info ), our group is leading on the development of bird based EBVs and derived indicators (farmland, forest and open habitats) that bridge the gap between informing current global change impacts and the evaluation of future scenarios of change allowing the assessment of current socio-political decisions.
