ERC PROJECT ABIDE IS HIRING. DEADLINE 20 OCTOBER.
We are opening 2 post-doctoral fellowships and 2 doctoral fellowships to work directly with ABIDE's PI Dr Verónica Policarpo.
The ABIDE project aims at exploring innovative, cutting edge, ways of knowing how can we learn from animals how to recover from catastrophic climate events, such as wildfires. Stemming from a European Research Council Consolidator Grant, from 2023 to 2028 we will explore multispecies approaches to disasters, in particular wildfires, in 3 countries: Australia, Brazil and Portugal.
We are looking for highly motivated researchers, team players who are willing to cooperate and contribute to a collective, and with a particular interest in animals and their social lives. Openness to constant learning and theoretical, methodological and empirical challenges are also key, as you will work in a highly interdisciplinary team.
