Current Opportunities:
New master's (or PhD) opportunity in urban ecology !
The research labs of Carly Ziter and Janani Sivarajah are looking for a motivated student to join their teams for a Master's (or PhD) starting in Spring or Fall 2026. The proposed project is part of an inter-institutional collaboration in urban ecology, bringing together Concordia University, Université Laval, the University of British Columbia (with Professors Matthew Mitchell and Tahia Devisscher), and Environment and Climate Change Canada (with researcher Barbara Frei).
This research aims to better understand the contributions of urban forests on private and public land to connectivity, biodiversity, and multiple climate-related ecosystem services within and across Canadian cities.

New postdoctoral position in urban ecology !
We are seeking a motivated postdoctoral fellow to join a collaborative urban ecology project between Concordia University (Dr. Carly Ziter), Université Laval (Dr. Janani Sivarajah), University of British Columbia (Drs. Matthew Mitchell and Tahia Devisscher) and Environment and Climate Change Canada (Dr. Barbara Frei). The overall project explores the relative contributions of private versus public lands to connectivity, biodiversity, and multiple climate-related ecosystem services across a range of urban densities and forms within and across Canadian cities (focusing on Vancouver, Montreal, and Quebec City).
The selected candidate will assess how land ownership and urban density interact to influence ecosystem multifunctionality within and across cities, drawing on biodiversity data in the three cities (collected via acoustic monitoring, field surveys, and community science), as well as urban ecosystem service modelling. This position is ideal for candidates interested in urban ecology, conservation, biodiversity, and social-ecological systems, with a strong quantitative background.
