Postdoctoral Researcher (f/m/x) in Predictive Avifauna Modelling @ufz.de
The job: The newly established research group BirdFutures is seeking a creative and highly skilled Ecological Modeler to build the quantitative foundation of our project. This project’s mission is to develop cutting-edge bird diversity models and scenarios across Europe. Your work will help directly generate products for societal, business, and financial decision-making, and inform critical policy like the EU Nature Restoration Law. This is a unique opportunity to join a team at its inception that will define the future of predictive biodiversity conservation science in Europe. A core scientific challenge of BirdFuture is the integration of diverse, multi-scale datasets. The project will be fueled by fine-scale, high-resolution bird monitoring data from key partners like the Dachverband Deutscher Avifaunisten (DDA), which must be harmonized with broader, continental-scale environmental data streams (e.g., climate projections, remote sensing land cover). Success in this role will require not just technical skill, but a deep appreciation for spatial ecology and the ability to think and model across scales — from the local habitat that drives an individual bird's presence to the continental forces that shape entire populations.
