Postdoctoral Researcher in Biodiversity Science

The Research Centre for Ecological Change seeks a postdoctoral researcher for two years at Viikki Campus, Helsinki. The project analyses long-term Finnish biodiversity datasets to understand how environmental change alters species co-occurrence. It examines how shifts in seasonal timing and geographic ranges combine to produce new assemblages, using spatial statistics and joint species distribution modelling. The researcher will help define the questions and work with an interdisciplinary team.

Starting salary is approximately EUR 3,700 per month, depending on experience, with a six-month trial period. Applications require one English PDF containing a one-page motivation letter, a two-page CV, publications and two referee contacts. Apply by 19 October 2026 at 23:59 Europe/Helsinki.
