Aihe: ANTS IS NOW HIRING 3 POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS and 2 PHD
Dear Mikko,
We are very pleased to announce that we are hiring again!! I would be extremely grateful if you could share this with the Environmental Humanities programme at UH and other networks you may think would be interested – thanks a million!!
Three Postdoctoral Researchers, Biodiverse Anthropocenes transdisciplinary research programme
We are building the future with science! The University of Oulu is one of the biggest universities in Finland with various fields of science. We participate solving global challenges by combining multidisciplinary approaches, high-level research and successful collaboration. Many of our research units represent international top-level research in their fields. Together with Oulu university of applied sciences we form the academic centre of Oulu.
We are now looking for three highly motivated Postdoctoral researchers with experience and/or a demonstrated interest in environmental change and socio-environmental relations.The researchers will join a new transdisciplinary programme, Biodiverse Anthropocenes, which focuses on human-environment relations and biodiversity dynamics, with a particular orientation towards the Arctic.
We invite applications from candidates across fields and disciplines who have strong research skills in biodiversity research or environment and society relations, and who are interested in pursuing work across and beyond disciplinary boundaries. We are looking for scholars conversant in issues and frameworks linked to global and regional environmental change, its social impacts and interpretations and biodiversity loss. Scholars with background in Geography, Biology, Genetics, Ecology and Education are prioritised and particularly encouraged to apply.
Programme
Located on the coast of the Gulf of Bothnia in Northern Finland with over 13,000 students and over 3,000 employees, The University of Oulu is one of the Nordic countries’ largest universities and is a global leader in studies of Northern environments and peoples. The University has recently launched a new multi-faculty strategic research programme, “Biodiverse Anthropocenes<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.oulu.fi/en/biodiverse-anthropocenes__;!!KGKeukY!zlOMvdgsuDjDN7G84nH3QeYUVIp4NcMcD0hpCiuobV0VSCI8112N6-kQro6zVBKDjrgVCciOWiJKKCfpeWQzdKhifw5g$>”. This programme aims to advance research and discussion concerning the multiple cultural, societal and environmental contributors to biodiversity loss, including interaction between human agents and nature, and to strengthen the collaborative role of sciences and the humanities in current political and scholarly debates about the environment.
The programme’s point of departure is that in order to serve some of today’s pressing environmental challenges, researchers across the natural, social and human sciences need to collaborate and engage in impactful and creative scholarship, and to include non-scientific community members as part of their transdisciplinary research endeavours. By bringing together international scholars from across disciplines, and encouraging effective public communication of science, Biodiverse Anthropocenes will promote transdisciplinary and community-minded studies of the environment and ensure the University’s remains as an international leader in addressing the challenges of ecological change and biodiversity.

We are now looking for two highly motivated
Doctoral Researchers
to join the Geography Research Unit, Faculty of Science.
The doctoral researcher positions are based on the Geographies of the Anthropocene Research Programme in the area of Biodiverse Anthropocenes (https://www.oulu.fi/en/research/arctic-interactions-resilience-and-global-change/biodiverse-anthropocenes<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.oulu.fi/en/research/arctic-interactions-resilience-and-global-change/biodiverse-anthropocenes__;!!KGKeukY!zlOMvdgsuDjDN7G84nH3QeYUVIp4NcMcD0hpCiuobV0VSCI8112N6-kQro6zVBKDjrgVCciOWiJKKCfpeWQzdMQO2r7u$>). The Geography Research Unit offers a progressive, stimulating, and international working environment. The Unit has five key focus areas in education: Regional Development and Regional Policy, Geoinformatics, Physical Geography, Regional and Political Geography, and Tourism Geographies (https://www.oulu.fi/geography/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.oulu.fi/geography/__;!!KGKeukY!zlOMvdgsuDjDN7G84nH3QeYUVIp4NcMcD0hpCiuobV0VSCI8112N6-kQro6zVBKDjrgVCciOWiJKKCfpeWQzdCY4Vbdg$>).
Biodiverse Anthropocenes is a Research Programme of the University of Oulu supported by the Academy of Finland PROFI6 funding (2021-2026). This innovative and transdisciplinary research initiative brings together scholars from across the social and natural sciences to collaboratively investigate the biodiversity loss currently threatening multi-species well-being and planetary sustainability, and to generate future-oriented solutions both in the Arctic and around the planet. The Biodiverse Anthropocenes Research Programme is framed around four core themes, which are also the focus of our Research Hubs:
* Transformations and adaptations (ANT 1)
* Multispecies worlds (ANT 2)
* Innovating approaches and methodologies (ANT 3)
* and Envisioning sustainability (ANT 4).
Together, these themes address the critical topics of: multiple pressures creating biodiversity loss; the responses of species, communities and ecosystems to ecological challenges; creative development and use of research methods for examining human-environmental systems; and, speaking with and listening to the public to use scientific knowledge to enhance sustainable and ethical practices.
The doctoral researcher positions are opened to strengthen the cluster with specific focus on human geography, resilience, sustainability, governance, rewilding, biodiversity, climate change and the Anthropocene and links with the Geography Research Unit’s existing strong research profile in tourism geographies.
Job description and requirements
We are looking for talented and highly motivated research-oriented persons who are interested in sustainability, biodiversity, resilience, climate change and tourism and their connections with adaptation and mitigation in the Anthropocene.
More specifically, we welcome research ambitions that relate tourism mobilities to wider societal developments and current discussions on sustainability, planning and governance, resilience, and/or digitalization. Focus could be on regenerative and responsible tourism, urban and/or rural developments, tourism employment and service work, tourism entrepreneurship, tourism policy and planning, tourist experiences, or hospitality. It is also possible to propose other research themes of relevance to service studies in tourism, place, and mobility. A demonstrable knowledge of qualitative, quantitative, and/or mixed research methods is an advantage.
The research profile of the successful candidate should complement the focus of the Tourism Geographies Research Group (TGs) at the Unit and the Biodiverse Anthropocenes Programme’s areas. Research in the Tourism Geographies group focuses on the sustainable development and tourism, regional and local development issues in tourism, politics and political ecologies of tourism, community-based natural resource management, nature-based tourism, tourism and climate change adaptation and resilience.
The Doctoral Researchers will carry out research work within a research team, disseminate research results in the esteemed peer-reviewed international journals from the field as well as at international conferences, attend doctoral courses and complete doctoral thesis within 4 years. Other duties may include teaching on undergraduate courses (approximately 5% of the total 1612 working hours per year) and supervising theses.
