Postdoctoral Researcher In Pasture Adaptation

.Postdoctoral Researcher in Pasture Adaptation The Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3), offers a full-time Postdoctoral Researcher to support the research activities of research line 3 on Terrestrial Ecosystems, and specifically work on the Pasture Adaptation project – a 3-year research project coordinated by University of Georgia with consortium partners in the USA (Appalachian State University, University of Kentucky, University of Georgia ), Norway (NIBIO), France (CNRS) and Switzerland (ETHZ), and funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation in the context of the "Belmont Forum/JPI Cultural Heritage/JPI climate Collaborative Research Action (CRA) Climate & Cultural Heritage (CCH) 2023" call.About the project:"Pasture Adaptation: Mitigation and Adaptation in Cultural Heritage Landscapes: Lessons from Transhumant Pastoral Systems for Managing Novel Climate Risks." At BC3, this project is led by Ikerbasque researcher Pablo Manzano. It examines, through novel environmental, social and economic sustainability indicators, the cultural landscapes of transhumant pastoralism in France, Norway, and Spain, to understand how this intangible cultural heritage (a) is threatened by climate change and other sociopolitical influences, (b) provides broader lessons regarding ecological knowledge and social organization for adaptive production systems, and (c) can be sustained through community action and policy.This research treats cultural landscapes as socioecological systems, linking scholarly fields that are often separate. Additionally, the project includes deeply integrated modelling of climate – including mitigation and adaptation, ecosystems, social systems, and policy in the service of community-facing adaptation workshops. Finally, we focus on conserving intangible heritage, especially cultural landscapes of agricultural importance.The selected candidate will contribute to implement the Spanish component of the project. Required to work together with the project IP (an ecologist with ample experience in transdisciplinary research), a scientist with environmental science and socioecosystems background will identify climate adaptation and mitigation elements among the Traditional Ecological Knowledge of Spanish transhumant pastoralists
