Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Phenology / Climate Change

This project, associated with the CBioClima – a Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center (RIDC) supported by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and hosted by the São Paulo State University’s Institute of Biosciences in Rio Claro, Brazil –, will use phenological time series derived from digital cameras to investigate plant responses to climate change in Brazilian biomes.
We are looking for a highly motivated researcher, with experience in Phenology and Remote Sensing and the ability to work collaboratively. Must present a PhD in Ecology, Plant Biology, Conservation, Remote Sensing or related areas, obtained in the last 7 years (see exceptions), fluent Portuguese (to communicate with local people in remote areas), and experience in phenological observation and monitoring networks using digital cameras.
Application: send to [email protected] including CV with link to Lattes and/or Google Scholar, letter of motivation (in English) and two letters of recommendation.
This opportunity is open to candidates of any nationality. The selected candidate will receive a FAPESP Post-Doctoral fellowship in the amount of R$ 9,047.40 monthly and a research contingency fund, equivalent to 10% of the annual value of the fellowship which should be spent on items directly related to the research activity.

The impacts of global climate change have altered the temporal pattern of this recurring natural event (leaf production/loss). Consequently, the timing and length of growing seasons are being altered, with effects on the structure and function of ecosystems. Identifying the factors that regulate leaf phenology in the tropics is crucial for understanding and predicting the effects of climate change on species, communities and ecosystems.
