The Co-Centre for Climate+ Biodiversity+ Water is seeking to recruit an experienced and motivated Research Fellow to play an active role as part of a new research team at Queen's University Belfast. The Co-Centre is an exciting new tri-jurisdictional initiative spanning Northern Ireland, Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland, which is managed jointly by QUB and Trinity College Dublin and funded by the Science Foundation Ireland (SFI), DAERA and UKRI. The Co-Centre is the home of research, innovation, and policy development across the interlinked challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and water degradation on the islands of Ireland and Britain, with the goal of integrating research across both islands to address these crises. This Research Fellowship will contribute mainly to a project on projecting biodiversity change. In this project we aim to forecast global vegetation responses driven by climate, land use, and traits, and apply these projections to enable population risk forecasting. We will apply the Global Warming Levels and "storyline" climate projections produced for Ireland and the UK with our biodiversity models to project effects of these new projections on the types of species that will occur under these new climatic conditions and their dynamics. There is a possibility to look at animal responses in addition to vegetation. The post will be part of the School of Biological Sciences at QUB but will work as part of a multi-disciplinary and inclusive team based in the dedicated Co-Centre Hub. The successful candidate will have responsibilities in independent research, supervision, planning, collaborations, and outreach. About the person The successful candidate must have, and our application should clearly demonstrate that you meet the following essential criteria: Hold or be about to obtain a PhD* (*obtained within 3 months of commencement of employment) in ecology or related field. Have substantial relevant research experience in (at least some of the following): GIS; geospatial modelling; ecological modelling; land use change and/or climate change impacts. Demonstrable evidence of experience and skills in: data analysis, report writing and/or peer-reviewed publication. To be successful at shortlisting stage, please ensure you clearly evidence in your application how you meet the essential and, where applicable, desirable criteria listed in the Candidate Information on our website.
