The Faculty of Science at the University of Helsinki invites applications for a Postdoctoral researcher in remote sensing of ArcticDefinitions of the Arctic vary according to environmental, geographical, political, cultural and scientific perspectives. Some scientists define the Arctic as areas having a high latitude, long winters, short, cool summers,... More ecosystems starting from 1.9.2021 or as agreed for a four years fixed-term employment contract. A six-month trial period will be applied.
The postdoctoral researcher will work on the project “Resilience of ArcticDefinitions of the Arctic vary according to environmental, geographical, political, cultural and scientific perspectives. Some scientists define the Arctic as areas having a high latitude, long winters, short, cool summers,... More terrestrial ecosystems under bioclimatic change” funded by the Academy of Finland. The project focuses on the impacts of climate changeAccording to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, climate change is change in the climate of the whole Earth or a region of the Earth that is believed... More on the ArcticDefinitions of the Arctic vary according to environmental, geographical, political, cultural and scientific perspectives. Some scientists define the Arctic as areas having a high latitude, long winters, short, cool summers,... More ecosystems at high spatiotemporal resolution but across large extents. The project will provide new knowledge of ArcticDefinitions of the Arctic vary according to environmental, geographical, political, cultural and scientific perspectives. Some scientists define the Arctic as areas having a high latitude, long winters, short, cool summers,... More bioclimate and ecosystemAll the living organisms (including people) in an area as well as its physical environment, functioning together as a unit. An ecosystem is made up of plants, animals, microorganisms, soil,... More dynamics and their inter-linkages. This will significantly increase the understanding of the long- and short-term bioclimatic variability in driving ecosystemAll the living organisms (including people) in an area as well as its physical environment, functioning together as a unit. An ecosystem is made up of plants, animals, microorganisms, soil,... More responses and enable assessment of the resilience of ArcticDefinitions of the Arctic vary according to environmental, geographical, political, cultural and scientific perspectives.
