Job Summary

This role is a fixed-term, part-time (50%) Research Associate position at Philipps University Marburg, covering maternity/parental leave until May 2027, with potential for extension. The focus is on the BfN research project "AviConAHP," which aims to develop a comprehensive monitoring concept for Germany's national species conservation program, specifically using birds as a case study. The successful candidate will perform scientific services, including compiling and preparing extensive data on conservation measures and population surveys, particularly for birds. Key tasks involve analyzing environmental data (e.g., land cover, vegetation indices) using statistical tools like R and QGIS, linking these with biodiversity data, and contributing to the methodological design of a counterfactual impact analysis to scientifically assess the effectiveness of conservation efforts. This position requires a Master’s degree in Biology or Ecology and proven experience in data management, statistical analysis, and collaborative research, offering a chance to contribute significantly to national biodiversity policy.
