(01) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral researcher in functional plant ecology

A promising avenue for grassland restoration is the use of priority effects, in which the order and timing of arrival of species is manipulated to steer community assembly toward desirable outcomes.

In this postdoctoral position, you will investigate how interacting factors of global environmental change, such as nutrient enrichment and drought, affect functional plant diversity (with a strong emphasis on belowground traits), soil biodiversity, and ecosystem functioning in temperate grasslands. In addition, you will design and implement a factorial experiment testing the potential of trait-based approaches to create positive priority effects across diverse environmental contexts, with the goal of advancing strategies for grassland restoration. You will join the Environmental Sciences section of the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development at Utrecht University.

Deadline : 17 October 2025

(02) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc summary/title: Postdoc in the history of global north-south public health cooperation

As a postdoctoral researcher you will be working on a subproject within the Consolidator Grant project COOPERATION (2024-2029) funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and directed by Dr. Ozan Ozavci (Principal Investigator, PI) at the Department of History and Art History. COOPERATION project recapture the lost archives and historical knowledge of international public health cooperation between the ‘global north’ and the ‘global south’ by analysing its first and longest-lasting instances: the sanitary councils in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Established in Tangier, Alexandria, Tunis, Istanbul and Tehran, these unprecedented institutions strategised against waves of epidemics and pandemics between the 1790s and the 1940s. Their European, American and native co-founders invented new models for fighting pandemics from below and stopping the diseases in their tracks. They continually strove to overcome the familiar barriers to cooperation posed by inter-imperial competition in a multipolar world, economic inequities, protests against quarantine restrictions and racial and Orientalist biases, among others. COOPERATION project will write an entangled history of health cooperation, by shifting the focus from top-down to bottom-up processes. Consulting archival sources in Europe, MENA, and North America, it will determine the historical preconditions for effective international public health cooperation.

Deadline : 2 November 2025
