A full-time contract is offered, with a planned incorporation in August-September 2022 with an initial duration of 12 month, with possibility of extending it if the budget allows it. The salary offered is between 38.043,80 and 33.067,55 € gross per year, depending on the candidate’s conditions. EuropaBON has as mission to overcome existing data gaps and workflow bottlenecks by designing an EU-wide framework for monitoring biodiversity and ecosystem services. The project aims to engage users at the regional, national and European level to identify the data needs of policies and targets, aligned with the new European Green Deal. BIOAGORA project is to address the need for a Science Service that supports decision-makers and other users with knowledge. The project aims at providing the biodiversity research community with interconnected and interconnected platform to transform available knowledge into operational decision support. BIOAGORA will develop a functional Science Service, understood as a combination of a technical platforms, a set of channels and tools, and networks bundling transdisciplinary science with policy and society in a context-sensitive way. The created solution aim at supporting the work with the European Commission (EC) and other relevant users. Together with ICO (Catalan Ornithological Institute) and EBCC (European Bird Census Council), CREAF is leading on an assessment of existing monitoring capability in Europe, in which the project will evaluate existing biodiversity data, and describe the major workflows used to generate and use these data in policy and research environments. EuropaBon then will assess the current biodiversity observation capacity across Europe by identifying weaknesses, biases and good practices and successes.
CREAF is seeking a field assistant for the FISHINDROUGHT project (Under the surface: uncovering the role of individual differences in how fish populations cope with severe droughts) with grant number EC-92592R-22 and financed by the National Geographic Society.
