Five-year fixed-term 20% position as Professor of Global Conservation Biology
Globe Institute


Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences

University of Copenhagen

University of Copenhagen seeks to appoint in a 20% position a fixed-term Professor for five years at the Globe Institute to commence February 1st 2024.

The position will be at Globe Institute that is part of the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. The Institute’s main purpose is to address basic and applied scientific questions through interdisciplinary approaches. The institute operates at the intersection of natural, medical sciences and the humanities.

As part of the Globe’s remit and to strengthen its existing research, teaching and external communication, we seek to appoint a Professor of Global Conservation Biology to both carry out research and teaching.

The research will be performed at the Section for Biodiversity, and the Center for Macroecology, Evolution and Climate (CMEC) at the GLOBE Institute. The Center is led by Professor Carsten Rahbek. CMEC is a center of excellence with a cross-disciplinary research program addressing fundamental questions on the origin, maintenance, conservation and future of life and biological diversity on Earth. The 40+ researchers at CMEC currently represent 14 different nationalities and the working language is English. The center juxtaposes faculty staff scientists from the fields of macroecology, historical biogeography, oceanography, evolutionary biology, community ecology, population biology, climate change research, conservation biology and environmental economics.

Job description

We offer a fixed-term position to work with biodiversity conservation at regional to global scale, using big biological and relevant socioeconomic databases. The research should be relevant at the interface to science-policy for international strategies to manage biodiversity, including NGO-strategies and/or, e.g. EU’s strategy for biodiversity or the UN COP15 agreement for biodiversity.

The professor’s responsibilities will primarily consist of:

  • Research, including publication/academic dissemination
  • Research-based teaching, including associated examination
  • Research leadership, including guidance and supervision of Masters, PhD students, and Postdocs
  • Obligation to share knowledge with the rest of society, including participation in public debate
  • Academic assessments
  • Attraction and management of externally funded research projects
  • Public dissemination of research outcomes
  • The professor will be a member of Globe’s faculty and therefore expected to actively contribute to collegiality at department level

We expect successful candidates to be interested in conducting projects within the center and in collaboration with other center scientists.
