The School of Science is seeking to hire a full-time, 4.5-month, fixed term appointment for a postdoctoral researcher. The successful applicant will lead and carry out ecological research as an integral team member of the AUT Living Laboratories ('Living Labs') programme.

The AUT Living Labs programme comprises a multi-disciplinary team of ecologists, geospatial scientists, and social scientists investigating how to best restore New Zealand indigenous forest, and biodiverse and functioning ecosystems, on previously farmed pastoral land. Over the past several years, we have designed and planted three AUT Living Labs long-term restoration experiments on ex-farmland within and outside Auckland City, and have begun collection of baseline ecosystem data. We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher who has experience with ecological sampling, research design, data management, and tree survival and growth analyses specifically associated with forest restoration experiments. This position is based on the City Campus of the Auckland University of Technology.

The successful applicant will have completed a PhD in ecology, with a preferred focus in the areas of forest restoration ecology and statistical modelling. Preference will be given to applicants who have some track record of high-quality ecological research, ecological data analysis/modelling, and publishing of ecological results. Desirable is experience with the formal management of ecological data and field work. The School is committed to research that gives effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. You will contribute to this kaupapa, through the recognition and advancement of responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi and by promoting these in the research.

The preferred start date is July 1, 2024.
