Postdoctoral researcher position - computational ecology, metabolomics and knowledge management for biodiversity research.

Thu, 17 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The Computational Ecology Group at the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, is offering a postdoctoral research position ! This postdoctoral project will be carried out in close collaboration with the COMMONS Lab in the Department of Biology at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. This project is framed within the Digital Botanical Gardens Initiative (DBGI) and the wider Earth Metabolome Initiative (EMI), which aim to document the chemical diversity of living systems using untargeted metabolomic data and semantic web technologies. The candidate will integrate ecological data into this framework and explore the potential of this approach to characterize biodiversity in the landscape.
