Phd Position "uncovering Fundamental Biodiversity
vor 1 Woche
Eawag, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, is an internationally net-worked aquatic research institute within the ETH Domain (Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology).
Eawag conducts research, education and expert consulting to achieve the dual goals of meeting direct human needs for water and maintaining the function and integrity of aquatic ecosystems.
PhD position "Uncovering fundamental biodiversity in riverine systems using environmental DNA" (4 years position)This project builds on existing long-term field sites in Switzerland (Thur catchment) and links to national biomonitoring programs. The goal of this PhD project is to advance eDNA-based metabarcoding in natural ecosystems, to get a coherent understanding of biodiversity and ecosystem function. You will conduct your own field and laboratory work to assess food webs and ecosystem state in riverine networks across the blue-green interface. The eDNA studies can be complemented with other technologies (e.g., remote sensing and modelling) and fits into the wider research interest of the Altermatt lab research areas. The PhD project allows a high level of innovation, independence and co-creation, and therefore there is also room for your own ideas in the context of aquatic biodiversity and eDNA metabarcoding.
To apply, you must have a Master's degree in Molecular Ecology, Ecology, Microbiology or a closely related science field. Applicants ideally have previous laboratory and bioinformatics experience in eDNA or HTS approaches, and knowledge on analysing biodiversity data. Experience in programming is an asset. A strong conceptual background in community and molecular ecology and a good understanding of ecological theory, data analysis and writing skills are expected. The working language in the group and the institutes is English. Fluency in speaking and writing is required.
We are looking for a highly motivated, enthusiastic and independent person with a passion for science to join our team. We offer a stimulating and international research environment, excellent research facilities and social working place. Zurich hosts many other research groups in ecology and biodiversity research, and is among the world's leading cities in terms of science, culture and quality of life. We promote gender equality and are committed to staff diversity and inclusion. Women and members of ethnic and cultural groups underrepresented in ecology and biodiversity sciences are especially encouraged to apply.
