英国伦敦大学学院2025年招聘博士后职位（统计生态学）

伦敦大学学院（University College London，简称：UCL），位于英国伦敦，是一所公立研究型大学，也是第一所在伦敦成立的大学。学校是罗素大学集团和欧洲研究型大学联盟的成员，被誉为金三角名校之一。

Research Fellow in Statistical Ecology

Department of Genetics, Evolution & Environment, University College London

Application Deadline Deadline:

Daniel Maynard

This is an exciting opportunity to join an interdisciplinary team of researchers at UCL to develop new statistical approaches to forecast how forest ecosystems will respond to environmental change. This project is the first phase of a 5-year ERC Starting Grant, supervised by Dr Maynard, which aims to develop a novel framework to forecast survival and responsiveness of communities under disturbance. The research fellow will primarily be based at the People and Nature Lab at the new UCL East campus—a collaborative group of researchers addressing the intersection between biodiversity, technology, computer science, the built environment, and society to create new ways for societies and nature to sustainably coexist.

Your role will be to develop and apply novel computational and statistical tools to predict the stability of ecological communities. This will involve constructing, optimising, and testing Bayesian hierarchical models and machine learning models, with the aim of predicting community composition and coexistence using environmental-, functional-, and phylogenetic information. Applications and model-testing will focus on existing datasets, primarily of forest ecosystems, but will also include plant, aquatic, and microbial communities as needed.

The successful candidate must hold or be submitting a PhD in a relevant area, including an ecological or environmental discipline, statistics, computer science, data science, or related field. You must have strong computational skills and significant experience working on complex statistical models, ideally using Bayesian or machine-learning approaches. Strong programming knowledge in at least one language are required, ideally in R, Python, or Julia. Experience using Git, the Stan language, parallel and distributed computing, and/or shell scripting are strongly encouraged but not required. Some knowledge of plant ecology, forest ecology, and/or theoretical ecology is useful but likewise not required. Experience with the peer-review process is mandatory, as is the ability to prepare initial and final drafts of manuscripts for publication. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential, including the ability to keep meticulous records and well-annotated computer code.
