Postdoctoral Research Associate

**About the role**





The SalGo Team (https://salgo.web.ox.ac.uk/) at the Department of Biology of
the University of Oxford is offering a postdoctoral research associate
position for an initial tenure of one year. The PDRA will join a highly
dynamic, collaborative research group at the new Department of Biology
(https://www.biology.ox.ac.uk), under the supervision of Assoc Prof Rob
Salguero-Gómez.





The PDRA will be co-supervised by Prof Andy Hector (Oxford Biology) and Dr
Iain Stott (University of Lincoln). The PDRA will join the on-going NERC
Pushing the Frontiers “Integrating and predicting responses of natural systems
to disturbances”. The PDRA will work closely with two other PDRAs already in
post (Dr Christina Hernandez and Dr Rachael Thornley), who are developing and
applying mathematical approaches to integrate the responses of individuals to
disturbances scaling up to populations and communities. The advertised
position will contribute to the further development of said framework to
different kinds of threats, and its application to existing long-term
demographic datasets ( _e.g._ , the COMADRE, COMPADRE, PADRINO databases)
