Postdoctoral Researcher (f/m/d) in Landscape Ecology & Biodiversity Science
University of Potsdam, Germany | Ref. 345/2026
The Landscape Ecology Group at the University of Potsdam invites applications for a 3-year postdoctoral position (100%, TV-L 13), starting as soon as possible.
We work at the interface of biodiversity science, trait-based and functional ecology, spatial/community ecology, and quantitative modelling, aiming to understand and predict biodiversity patterns across spatial scales.
The position offers substantial intellectual freedom to develop an independent research profile. The specific research focus will be developed together with the successful candidate and may connect with ongoing work on biodiversity change, ecological forecasting, spatial ecology, and functional approaches to communities in changing landscapes.
The position also includes teaching in the BSc Geoökologie and MSc CLEWS programmes (approximately one-third of working time).
We are looking for candidates with:
• PhD in ecology, biodiversity science, environmental science, or a related field
• Independent research experience and scientific publications
• Teaching experience at BSc and/or MSc level
• Strong quantitative skills and experience with reproducible workflows in R and/or Python
• Fluency in English
Deadline: 18 September 2026
