About the role

The SalGo Team (https://salgo.web.ox.ac.uk/) at the Department of Biology of the University of Oxford is offering a postdoctoral research associate position for an initial tenure of one year. The PDRA will join a highly dynamic, collaborative research group at the new Department of Biology (https://www.biology.ox.ac.uk), under the supervision of Assoc Prof Rob Salguero-Gómez.

The PDRA will be co-supervised by Prof Andy Hector (Oxford Biology) and Dr Iain Stott (University of Lincoln). The PDRA will join the on-going NERC Pushing the Frontiers “Integrating and predicting responses of natural systems to disturbances”. The PDRA will work closely with two other PDRAs already in post (Dr Christina Hernandez and Dr Rachael Thornley), who are developing and applying mathematical approaches to integrate the responses of individuals to disturbances scaling up to populations and communities. The advertised position will contribute to the further development of said framework to different kinds of threats, and its application to existing long-term demographic datasets (e.g.
