We seek a highly motivated post-doctoral researcher to join a multi-disciplinary team in the new Centre for Landscape Regeneration (CLR) to develop a land-use scenario modelling framework to explore how combinations of management interventions and regimes across landscapes affect biodiversity recovery and ecosystem service provision for a range of human needs.
You will join a collaborative team consisting of Professor Andrew Balmford of the Department of Zoology and Drs Richard Bradbury, Rob Field and Tom Finch and a parallel post-doctoral researcher at the RSPB. You will work with scientists, farmers and land managers, local and regional government and resource managers to identify how contrasting management regimes across a landscape could contribute to biodiversity restoration and climate change mitigation, while simultaneously meeting societal needs in the East Anglian fens. You will then transfer this framework to other target landscapes in the Lake District and the Cairngorms. The postholder will be based in the David Attenborough Building in Cambridge and will be expected to work from there at least three days per week.
You will be self-motivated and able to work efficiently to meet deadlines and in collaboration with external organisations and individuals. You will hold a PhD in a relevant subject and have effective written and verbal communication skills. You will have the ability to communicate with a range of audiences and be able to curate, analyse and interpret large and complex data sets to peer-reviewed standards of scrutiny and audit.
You should have demonstrable skills and experience in conservation/land-use ecology and at least one of the following areas:
Impacts of land use on biodiversity
Soil science and hydrology
Climate change mitigation within the land sector
Atmospheric greenhouse gas flux modelling
Land economy/agricultural economics
Spatial scenario modelling
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available up until 30 January 2027 in the first instance, with a possibility of extension up to 30 March 2027 subject of project status and funding.
