Phd Position in Community and Ecosystems Ecology
vor 1 Woche
Eawag, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, is an internationally networked 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.
The Altermatt lab at the Department of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies (IEU) of University of Zurich and the Department of Aquatic Ecology of Eawag have a vacancy for aPhD position in Community and Ecosystems Ecology (4 years)
The position is fully funded for four years and will be based in the group of Prof. Dr. Florian Altermatt.
The successful applicant will be a student of the University of Zurich and be part of the PhD Program in Ecology.
Using existing experience and data as a springboard, we will focus on freshwater macroinvertebrates (amphipods) to study meta-ecosystem dynamics in freshwater streams.
We are especially interested in studying how amphipod communities assemble, and how different species' ecosystem functions are shaped by interacting effects of habitat network structure, community/food-web dynamics and resource input.
The student is explicitly expected and encouraged to contribute and have an active role in the conceptual development of the project, and to be interested in aquatic ecology in a wider sense.
For the project, we offer state-of-the-art infrastructure, access to extensive indoor and outdoor mesocosm facilities as well as access and long-term data from a set of headwater streams that we have been monitoring over the last decade.
The planned research project will fit in the wider range of research conducted in the Altermatt lab, involving conceptual and experimental work on meta-ecosystems including theory and microcosm experiments, and environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques.
While the latter are not necessarily part of this project, the student is expected to build and link to these capacities and wider interests of the lab.
The Altermatt lab has a shared base at University of Zurich and at Eawag. It offers a stimulating and international research environment, excellent research facilities and a lively 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.
University of Zurich and Eawag are both committed to promoting diversity and equal opportunities for underrepresented minorities, and to support the compatibility of family and work.
