Soils host most of the world’s biodiversity and deliver important ecosystem services, yet many soils are currently considered unhealthy. We are looking for a motivated candidate with a PhD in soil ecology or a related discipline.

We are seeking a talented, enthusiastic, and collaborative PhD candidate to investigate how seasonal environmental change influences population vulnerability and to develop new indicators of demographic risk and resilience in wild bird populations.

NIOO-KNAW has a long-standing tradition of citizen science projects across departments. You will contribute to developing a long-term vision on embedding citizen science across departments to create a citizen science hub within NIOO-KNAW. This includes investigating reliability, trustworthiness and validation of citizen science data in ecological research.

Contribute to the analytical workflows of the Aquatic Ecology Department by conducting an audit of our existing catalogue of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Work with our research assistant team to develop and update SOPS for a range of aquatic ecology laboratory and field procedures.
