Job Description
Missions
We are seeking a postdoctoral associate to contribute to the development of a theory on ecological scaling either across space of across levels of biological complexity.
Activity
- Developing analytical theory and/or simulation models on the spatial scaling on either species interaction networks, or on biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships
- Establishing links between theories of metacommunities and ecological networks

Skills
A strong theoretical background is required, with expertise in ecological and evolutionary theory, mathematics, or physics (Duration of the contract – 4 months). We seek highly motivated and creative individuals with a good command of the English language and with expertise in the areas mentioned.
Your Work Environment
This position is part of the Horizon Europe project “BIOcean5D: Marine Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning across spatial, temporal, and human scales”. The overall aim of the project is to acquire knowledge of the principles governing the structure, dynamics, resilience and evolution of marine life to develop solid theories and predictive models of the relationships between marine biodiversity and ecosystem functions, which will in turn lead to improved economic valuation and protection of marine life. The successful applicants will be part of this unique, ambitious and exciting project comprising over 30 partners in 11 countries. For more information on the project, visit https://www.biocean5d.org/. The applicants will work on close collaboration with Jose M. Montoya, from CNRS.
The SETE (Theoretical and Experimental Ecology Station) is a Research Unit of the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). It is located in the foothills of the central Pyrenees in Ariège, in Moulis, about 100km south from Toulouse. It currently hosts a team of 70 researchers, technicians, administrative staff and PhD students. The station focuses its research on exciting new developments in theoretical and experimental ecology, in particular on biodiversity, ecosystems and the interactions between human societies with a view to contributing to their long-term sustainability.
