No Offer Description We have a postdoc position open for the period of 3 years (0.8 FTE) within the PREDWEI 2 project. The aim of the project is to improve understanding of the spatial dynamics and shifting interactions among different predator species-both terrestrial and aerial-affecting ground-breeding birds (meadow, arable, and coastal species). The project will produce recommendations for effective management and policy regarding the various predator species, with the aim of increasing chick survival. The research will make an important contribution to knowledge on effective management for the conservation of ground-breeding birds and will identify the remaining knowledge gaps after completion of the study. Previous PREDWEI studies have provided substantial insight into the important role of various terrestrial predator species and their interactions in relation to ground-breeding birds. At the same time, these studies have revealed important knowledge gaps that are highly relevant for improving the effectiveness of policy and management aimed at protecting ground-breeding birds. This applies to the main landscape types in which these birds occur: meadow, arable, and coastal habitats, each with its own community of terrestrial and aerial predators (mammals and birds of prey). In each landscape type, a link will be established between nest and...
