Briefly, the successful candidate will collaborate with an international team of researchers trying to understand how fungi respond to climate change. The funded project is specifically asking how climate change may affect the phenology (temporal fruiting patterns), production (yields of fruit bodies), distribution of fungal species and their substrate usage. To answer these questions, the project is using unique fungal datasets from across Europe, along with climatic measurements, tree-ring chronologies, and existing knowledge of the ecology of focal taxa. In addition, lab and field experiments may be conducted to complement the observational field studies. Candidates should have advanced statistical skills and interests in climate change and fungal ecology. The position will be based in the Microbial Evolution Research Group (MERG) at the University of Oslo, but there may be flexibility on where the postdoc is located and some travel will be required for collaboration. Salary: NOK 473,400 – 548,700 per year (roughly equivalent to US$82,000 – US$95,000) depending on qualifications and seniority. Time frame: The position is available immediately and for a period of 34 months.
