The Computational Ecology & Environmental Science group at Microsoft Research, based in Cambridge, England, has openings for postdoctoral research scientists in the following areas: ecological networks, plant ecology, behavioural ecology, biodiversity and biogeography.

The CEES group undertakes research to deepen our understanding of critical fundamental  and applied problems in ecology and environmental science, and develops novel computational methods for addressing these problems. The group has a strong scientific publication record, is very well resourced, has a sister group in computational biology, and benefits from links to a software and tools team with whom we aim to develop useable, freely available software for use by the scientific community. All members of the CEES group pursue personal research agendas, as well as working closely with a wide range of external partners including senior academics, co-supervised PhD students, and NGOs. CEES postdocs are expected to carry out novel scientific research, and to publish this research in international peer-reviewed scientific journals; as well as engaging with the mission of the group more widely.

A demonstrated interest and background in quantitative ecology / environmental science; interest in research at the interface of ecology, biology, computer science and other related disciplines; and an interest in developing and disseminating novel computational methods; are required.  Interested candidates are welcome to contact any member of the CEES for informal discussions prior to applying. Applications should include a statement of research interests and curriculum vita. Review of applications will begin March 1st and continue until the positions are filled.
