Luc Doyen du GREThA (Groupe de Recherche en Économie théorique et Appliquée, UMR CNRS - Université Bordeaux), unité faisant partie du LabEx COTE, présentera un exposé intitulé : "Bio-economic scenarios for biodiversity and land-uses". La présentation aura lieu le vendredi 19 mai 2017 à 11 h, au bâtiment Airial à l'Inra-Pierroton.

The Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain) is seeking 2 postdoctoral isotope geochemistry fellows to join our dynamic applied geochemistry research group. The appointment will be for 2 years period. The successful candidates will conduct isotope geochemistry research activities related to volcano monitoring, ground water resources in volcanic terrains, geothermal exploration, food authenticity and traceability, geochronology, paleoclimatology and paleoecology as well as consult with and train foreign counterparts. Documented experience of teamwork and/or participation into integrated multidisciplinary projects represents a plus in the selection process.

The Laboratory for Air Pollution/Environmental Technology at Empa, Switzerland offers a 36-month Postdoc position on N2O production from nitritation-anammox. The postdoc at Empa will collaborate with scientists at University of Basel (Prof. Dr. Moritz Lehmann), and Eawag in Dübendorf and Kastanienbaum (Dr. A. Joss and Dr. H. Bürgmann) to advance our understanding of the nitrogen metabolism in pure and mixed anammox cultures. The overarching goal of the SNF Sinergia project is to develop an optimized nitrogen removal process for full-scale wastewater treatment using nitritation-anammox systems with stable operation, high N removal efficiency and minimized greenhouse gas emissions.

An 18-months postdoctoral position in stress ecology and ecotoxicology is available at the University of Rennes1 (Brittany, France): "Evaluation of tolerance development of soil engineer fauna to contamination with residual pesticides in agricultural landscapes". The position is available in the research group RITME lead by Professor Claudia Wiegand at the CNRS laboratory Ecosystems, Biodiversity and Evolution ( ECOBIO , UMR 6553) in Rennes, France. It is part of a current programme on Environmental Toxicology and Stress Ecology (LIA ETSE, CNRS and University Rennes1). The application deadline is now 30 May 2017.

The newly formed Department of Marine Sciences at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, is enhancing its activities in Marine Sciences, and is recruiting two Professors and two Senior Lecturers. Application deadline is 13 June 2017. Please see the links below including all information on the positions and on how to apply.

A scientist position in applied ecotoxicology is available at the Swiss Centre for Applied Ecotoxicology (Ecotox Centre). The group located in Lausanne is seeking environmental scientists with a strong background in soil ecotoxicology, with special emphasis on bioassays and bioavailability.
