2019 onwards. Full professor (Dept of Biology) - University of Turku, FI
2012-2019 Tenure-track professor (Dept of Biology) - University of Turku, FI
2001-2012 I secured funding from the Research Council of Finland for various researcher positions allowing me to strengthen my expertise as a researcher. I have been acting as a lecturer for some times in between these research-oriented positions
2001. PhD (Ecology and Evolution) - University of Helsinki, FI
1997. MSc (Ecology and Evolution) - University of Amsterdam, NL
In the Brommer Lab we study a variety of ecological and environmental issues; in some projects focus is on specific taxa, in others a macroecological approach is used, often including a societal aspect.
Data gathering includes traditional field methods, but also acoustic monitoring and wildlife cameras. Macroecological project often rely on publicly available data. We carry out electronic surveys when study social aspects.
I teach general aspect of professional life (Professional Development), an introductory course for working in R (Getting to work in R) and central concepts in evolutionary biology (Advanced Evolutionary Biology).
