Teaching and research postdoc in GISc on the development of movement models Are you enthusiastic about the chance to combine research in Geographic Information Science (GISc) — particularly in movement analysis — with teaching and student supervision?

Teaching and research postdoc in GISc on the development of movement models www.wur.nl/en/vacancy/t... initially one-year that can be extended to a maximum of three years

Yeah, the big grant side of things can be extra challenging..

How do other ECRs navigate applying for funding/awards when they are (somewhat) between positions?

So many grants/awards for ECRs require you to have a current affiliation, but what if you only have 3-9 months left of a contract? You're unlikely to have something lined up that far in advance.

A tiny meerkat pup aged just a few weeks, emerging from the birth burrow in the Kalahari Desert.

🚨 New paper 🚨

(1/8) In meerkats, pregnancy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some mothers gain weight steadily, others delay all growth until the final weeks 📈

What drives this striking variation, and how does it affect the (adorable) pups?
