Offer Description

We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher in environmental sciences, particularly interested in ecology, biodiversity, conservation, and global change biology.

Worldwide, glaciers are retreating at historically unprecedented rates. Glacier retreat has dramatic impacts on mountain environments, influencing water availability and human well-being, modifying the biogeochemical cycles in downstream ecosystems, and determining the development of new ecosystems, with fast changes of biotic communities and overall biodiversity patterns. Nonetheless, forecasting the impact of glacier retreat on biodiversity and developing solutions to mitigate biodiversity loss are big problems that remain unsolved.

A postdoctoral research position is open in the Biodiversity Change group of Gianalberto Losapio at University of Milan. This position is part of an international project (MITEX https: // sites.google.com/view/mitex) addressing conservation and management of biodiversity in glacial ecosystems. The overarching goal of this project is to develop a better understanding of how to halt biodiversity loss in glacial ecosystems through conservation actions. In particular, the candidate will identify evidence-based conservation actions for enhancing biodiversity, devising strategies to anticipate and mitigate the consequences of glacier extinction under climate change scenarios.

Salary and benefits are nationally competitive. The candidate will be supervised by Gianalberto Losapio and will collaborate and interact with a broader national and international network of researchers and stakeholders across the Alps.

University of Milan provides great opportunities for academic and professional training. We offer stimuli for developing critical thinking and to become an independent scientist. You will receive individualized attention and will have many opportunities to develop close collegial relationships with different scientists.
