*Modelling species population dynamics with nature conservation laws*
The PhD position takes place within the project Can laws save the
natural world? funded by the Swedish Research Council VR, which aims to
quantitatively understand how endangered species can benefit from nature
conservation laws. The project presents a high level of novelty and will
provide important implications for conservation. This position, along
with a parallel PhD position in environmental law, is one of the key
components of the project. Specifically, we are looking for a highly
motivated graduate student who will 1) develop quantitative population
models of endangered species to align concepts defined in European
species conservation law with measurable ecological counterparts that
are applicable across many taxa, 2) develop quantitative analyses to
document the effects of legal protection on species trends and 3)
analyze patterns of biodiversity-related legal aspects across European
countries (such as e.g. court cases). The research will involve
different taxa but has a clear emphasis on large carnivores, such as
wolves, bears and lynx. The PhD position aims to be interdisciplinary,
being both intensive in quantitative modelling and requiring an ability
to understand legal concepts and their use by stakeholders.
/Qualifications/
Required: a master degree (or equivalent) with a specialization in
quantitative ecology, ecological modelling, biodiversity conservation or
evolutionary ecology, a demonstrated ability to write one’s own analyses
in R and a professional level fluency in English (see also below).
Desirable: a demonstrated experience of using additional computer
programming languages for scientific analysis, an interest in endangered
species conservation, experience in scholarly publishing and knowledge
of European nature conservation laws and policies. Also relevant:
ability and experience to inform and communicate with diverse
stakeholders such as authorities, governments or the European
Commission. Interpersonal skills will form an important part of the
candidate selection.

Dear all,
The meeting of the IUFRO LE WP during the UGI-IGU 2022 conference in
Paris (18 to 22 July) will be on Wednesday 20th, from 16h30 to 18h30 pm,
at Room 54, Pantheon Sorbonne, 1st floor.
We will discuss the plans of the group for the term that we are now
starting and beyond. This will be also an opportunity to meet in person
after such a long period of isolation.
If you are attending the conference notice that there will be a session
organized by Sandra Luque, Jiquan Chen and me, on Thursday, 21st of
July, from 14h30 to 18h00 on "The role of landscape sustainability
science on the post-2020 global biodiversity framework".
Hope to see you there.
Best regards,
João
