Hannah Buckley is a New Zealand ecologist, and is a full professor in the school of science at the Auckland University of Technology, specialising in biological variation in community ecological diversity through time and space.

Academic career

Buckley completed a Bachelor of Science with Honours at Victoria University of Wellington and then a PhD titled Structure of vascular plant, epiphytic lichen, ground beetle (Carabidae), and diatom (Bacillariophyceae) communities in south-central Alberta, Canada at the University of Alberta.[1] Buckley completed postdoctoral work at Florida State University, where she worked on ecological variation in communities inside pitcher plants across North America.[2] Buckley then joined the faculty of Lincoln University, where she rose to associate professor. During this time she was awarded a Bullard Fellowship at Harvard University, where she and her husband Brad Case researched spatial patterns in co-occurrence of species in forest plots with Aaron Ellison.[3][4]

Buckley then moved to the Auckland University of Technology, rising to full professor in 2022.[5] She is a lead investigator in the Biological Heritage National Science Challenge.[6]

Buckley is an ecologist, who investigate biological variation over time and space.[7] She also studies gender in science, finding that editor's selection of reviewers for papers submitted to the New Zealand Journal of Ecology showed a gender bias: "Although the effect of associate editor gender on the selection rate of female versus male reviewers was not strong, there was nonetheless a trend for female editors to select more female reviewers than did male editors, suggesting that editors could probably improve female selection rates on the whole."[8]
