Dear colleagues,

Please share widely the attached postdoc job advert with your networks.

It is for an exciting project assessing climate change risks to
biodiversity. The postdoc will be part of a young and rising research team
based at University of Cape Town, University College London, University of
Connecticut, and South African National Parks. The framework paper for the
project has just been accepted at Nature.

*Forecasting the timing of climate change risks to biodiversity to
strengthen conservation decision-making in Africa*

*Application Deadline: 29 January 2020 or until position is filled*

*Call for Applications*

A joint research team from the African Climate and Development Initiative
(ACDI) at the University of Cape Town; University College London; and South
African National Parks is seeking two Postdoctoral Research Fellows (PDRFs)
to join a project on climate change risks to biodiversity.

PDRFs will be highly motivated to work as part of an interdisciplinary
research team, grow their research expertise, engage with conservation
decision-makers and generate peer-reviewed publications. Additionally,
there is the opportunity to work with the ACDI-based team on climate change
impacts and adaptation in Africa for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change’s (IPCC) 6th Assessment Report, due in 2021.

Project research will address one or more of the following four key
objectives:

(1) *Forecast the timing of climate change risks to biodiversity at the
species or community level, to quantify where and when losses of species,
trait or phylogenetic diversity are expected this century and whether this
will occur gradually or abruptly;*

(2) *Quantify how climate risks to species are expected to accumulate over
time to improve consideration of climate change in species threat
assessments (e.g., IUCN Red List);*

(3) *Assess the timeframe and potential for evolution to rescue species
from climate driven extinction and how this varies across species and
ecosystems;*

(4) *Use climate and land use change projections to model changes in
species threat over time and identify options for expansion of protected
areas within Africa and globally.*

The overall aim of the broader research project is to link these four key
objectives in order to provide improved forecasting to decision-makers
about climate change risks to biodiversity. Candidates will be encouraged
to develop their own research ideas within the goals of the research team.
