The Faculty of Science at the University of Turku invites applications for contract-based, fixed term postdoctoral researcher position. Employment starts on 1.8.2024 or as agreed and lasts for two years.
The postdoctoral researcher will join the project "Evolution of landscapes, rivers and biota in Amazonia". The project is funded by the Research Council of Finland and is carried out in collaboration with several research institutes in Europe, Brazil and USA.
The overall aim of the project is to understand spatial distribution patterns of animals and plants in Amazonian rainforests in the light of evolutionary and biogeographical processes that may have driven their diversification. Attention is paid especially to the geological and climatical history of the area, dispersal barriers they may have created, and current as well as past environmental heterogeneity. To obtain a generalized view, the project addresses distributional patterns and population genomic structure of several plant and animal groups in parallel.
