PhD opportunity: Unravelling the ontogeny of bird migratory behaviour in a changing world
Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon
Passionate about bird migration and movement ecology? We are looking for a motivated candidate interested in applying for a FCT grant (Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology) to carry out a 4-year PhD focusing on the ontogeny of migratory behaviour (with black or white storks). The candidate will be based in Portugal at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon. Fieldwork (GPS tagging, nest monitoring, etc) can be carried out depending on the candidate interests. We are aiming to find someone with good analytical skills (particularly in R) and with at least one published paper (to increase the chances of getting a scholarship). Given the specificity of the call, we are looking for students that have obtained their degrees from European universities.
To express your interest, please send your CV (including your 1st degree and Master grades) and a short motivation letter to inescatry@gmail.com.

Project description
Anthropogenic changes are shifting the migration patterns of birds worldwide: species are changing the migration timings, shortening and diversifying migratory routes, or even completely disrupting migration and transitioning towards residency. While human induced environmental changes are known to have contributed to the observed changes in migratory behaviour, the mechanisms by which species adapt to these changes remain largely unknown.
The white (Ciconia ciconia) and black (Ciconia nigra) storks are a long-lived species and iconic symbols for long-distance migrations. Previous research by our team revealed that both species are changing their migratory habits. Thus, the current proposal aims to study the ontogeny of migratory behaviour to unravel the physiological, ecological, and evolutionary mechanisms behind the shifts in migratory decisions, as well as explore the carryover effects of different migratory strategies at the individual and population-level.
This PhD project will capitalise on a long-term GPS-tracking study of white and black storks (> 400 GPS devices combined with 3D-accelerometers deployed, http://whitestork.org/) and will focus on: (i) disentangle the role of early-life physiological and health constraints on first-year migratory decisions, (ii) evaluate the influence of ontogenetic individual experience in subsequent migratory decisions and (iii) investigate life-long time fitness and demographic consequences of different migratory strategies.
Overall, we will be able to increase the knowledge on the extent to which migrants can cope with current rates of environmental change, both in the short term and across generations.

Data and Systems Steward
Reports to: Head of Crick Advanced Light Microscopy (CALM)
This is a full-time permanent position on Crick terms and conditions of employment.
About us
The Francis Crick Institute is Europe’s largest biomedical research institute under one roof. Our world-class scientists and staff collaborate on vital research to help prevent, diagnose and treat illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, infectious diseases and neurodegenerative conditions.
The Crick is a place for collaboration, innovation and exploration across many disciplines. A space where the brightest minds can pursue big and bold ideas and discover answers to crucial scientific questions. We support them in a dynamic environment which fosters excellence with state-of-the-art infrastructure, cutting-edge facilities, and a creative and curious culture. We’ve removed traditional boundaries of departments, divisions and disciplines and instead have an open approach that supports every researcher. This gives us the freedom to take risks and carry out high-quality, pioneering research. Creating a space for discovery without boundaries helps us to turn our science into benefits for human health and the economy.
About the role
The Francis Crick Institute requires state-of-the-art Scientific Computing systems and services to enable world-leading research. Crick science and technology platforms (STPs), including Light Microscopy, Electron Microscopy, Histopathology, High Content Screening, and (image-based) Flow Cytometry, produce large volumes of complex image data each year.
We are now looking for a Data and Systems Steward to join the Light Microscopy Team at the Crick as the research computing professional.
This is an exciting and varied role with two complementary strands.
The first focuses on data stewardship and research data management. You will ensure that data are managed in line with FAIR principles, maximising their value for researchers, laboratories, the wider institute, and funders. This includes the effective management of high-quality metadata, as well as the publication of data and workflows to appropriate open-access resources. A key part of the role is supporting researchers to understand and manage their data, working closely with teams across the Crick to ensure datasets are easy to find, accessible, and well annotated throughout their lifecycle.
The second strand centres on image data management, with particular responsibility for the OMERO platform. You will lead the administration and development of our OMERO+ server (a proprietary derivative of the open-source OMERO platform), designing and maintaining workflows that enhance interactivity and reuse of image data. This includes supporting the full image data lifecycle: automated import and archiving from diverse imaging modalities (such as confocal, super-resolution, hi-plex, and slide-scanner systems); microscope quality control (e.g. via OMERO-metrics); advanced visualisation of large, multi-dimensional datasets and next-generation file formats; image analysis using tools such as Nextflow and the OMERO Python API; and data publication to community resources such as the BioImage Archive.
We are seeking a candidate with a strong Linux background and experience administering and operating OMERO, or at least familiarity with the platform. Experience in data management at a project or institutional level, as well as working with image data, is highly desirable.
What you will be doing:
Some of your key responsibilities for this role will include:
-
Systems Administration and Automation:
- Administer our OMERO+ server
- Work closely with external software vendors to manage the installation and use of image management and analysis platforms at the Crick
- Automate tasks including data ingestion and archiving via OMERO
-
Research Data Management Training and Support
- Train researchers in the use of OMERO
- Train researchers in principles of research data management
- Work closely with Library and Data Management staff to align best practice in RDM and open data throughout the Crick
-
STP Support:
- Work with Imaging STPs, including Light Microscopy, Electron Microscopy, High Throughput Screening, Experimental Histopathology and Flow Cytometry, to facilitate moving, storing, analysing, and presen...
