Fixed Term Contract - end date of 28 February 2026.
Full Time - 35 Hours Per Week.
The Opportunity:
We are looking for a PDRA to be part of the TundraTime project, studying the impact of climate change on vegetation and terrestrial ecosystem functioning in the Arctic tundra and impacts of Arctic vegetation phenology change.
The goal of this PDRA position is to test how plant responses to climate change are playing out across tundra ecosystems. A specific focus will be on the productivity of non-vascular vegetation and their physiological responses to a changing climate working with data from Svalbard. The PDRA will estimate the relative importance of contrasting trajectories of productivity change – increased overall productivity and/or earlier growing season.
This post is full-time (35 hours per week). We are also open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.
