1. Scientific Area: Biology, subarea of Ecology and Biodiversity or related areas, or Informatics and Data Science, Bioinformatics and related areas.

2. Financing Source: Horizon Europe. 1

3. Admission Requirements: Doctor Degree in Biology, subarea of Ecology and Biodiversity or related areas, or Informatics and Data Science and related areas. 2

4. Other Requirements:
The candidate should have a profile closely related to a biodiversity informatician to expand our team expertise and engage with an international team within European projects and initiatives in the field of digital governace of biodiversity. The candidate should have PhD-level expertise in the fields of biology and bioinformatics, computer and data science, in software development using version control and collaborative platforms such as GitHub, in developing data analysis workflows, preferably with application to biodiversity conservation and/or biological sciences research. A strong proficiency is required in programming in Python and/or R languages, along with ability to extract and integrate data from multiple sources, knowledge of data standards and understanding of FAIR data principles, and familiarity with working in cloud computing environments. In addition, previous experience with biodiversity and environmental data, familiarity with public biodiversity repositories like OBIS (Ocean Biodiversity Information System) and GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility), and with data standards relevant to biodiversity (e.g., Darwin Core), will be valued. The candidate should have a good command of English and general communication skills to collaborate with a largely international research team. Authorhip or contribution to scientific publications and/or open data/software is an added value, if applicable, required research experience and other admission requirements).
