Deadline: February 15, 2025

One postdoc will lead ITEX phenology syntheses including the integration of phenocam and below-ground data as a part of the Canada Excellence Research Chair Project on the global change ecology of northern ecosystems. The other postdoc will join the European Research Council Resilience project to look at spatial patterning in tundra ecosystems and how they might influence resilience in the face of global change.

There will be opportunities for fieldwork in the Canadian Arctic and potentially elsewhere as a part of both of these positions. The two postdocs will join the teams for these two projects based at the University of British Columbia and will have the opportunity to work with collaborators in North America and Europe and across the ITEX network. These postdocs will join current UBC postdoc Jeremy Borderieux who is leading new data syntheses with the ITEX plant composition data focusing on community assembly and spatial patterning as a part of the Resilience Project and the recruited Tundra Time postdoc at the University of Edinburgh (see below).
