Offer Description
Biological invasions are a growing problem, but predicting which species will become invasive and which areas will be susceptible to invasion remains a challenge. Despite the advances made, it is still not sufficiently understood how species traits and the environment interact during the different phases of the invasion process. This project aims to deepen this knowledge to refine invasion risk predictions, combining global bird distribution data, molecular phylogenetics and advanced statistical and ecological analyses.
Main tasks
Research, review and extraction of information on biological traits and geographical distribution of fauna, from bibliographic sources and specialized portals.
Management, debugging and maintenance of scientific databases.
Development and application of code for the statistical analysis of spatial environmental data in languages such as R or Python.
Previous experience in database management.
Knowledge of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and geospatial data processing.
Proficiency in programming languages applied to data analysis, such as R, Python or SQL.
Knowledge of species distribution models and ecological niche analysis.
Specific Requirements
Development and application of code for the statistical analysis of spatial environmental data in languages such as R or Python.
