Head of Research Unit Biodiversity and Conservation Biology 90‒100%
vor 3 Wochen
05.03.2025
The Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL is part of the ETH Domain. Approximately 600 people work on the sustainable use and protection of the environment and on the handling of natural hazards.
The research unit Biodiversity and Conservation Biology investigates the diversity of life in its various forms, from genetic diversity to the diversity of species and ecosystems and their interactions, and provides the basis for evidence-based nature conservation. The directorate of WSL wishes to fill the position by November 1th 2025, or by agreement.
Position OverviewAs a researcher with an international reputation, you will manage the research unit with more than 100 collaborators. The coordination and support of the 7 different research groups and the management of your own projects are part of your diverse area of responsibility. You acquire third-party funding, maintain the interface to other research fields, and further develop the topic of biodiversity within the frame of the WSL strategy in the environment of the ETH Domain. You are committed to cooperate with public authorities and expert organisations at national and international levels and promote the important outreach activities of this unit at the interface between research and practice.
QualificationsYou are at an advanced stage of your scientific career and have experience in leading research groups and managing larger research projects. You have a strong track record in the development and funding of research projects, an excellent publication list, and an established international network. Candidates with a sound expertise in organismic biodiversity at the interface of basic and applied research and experience in the application of research results in biodiversity conservation are particularly encouraged to apply. Proven knowledge in the biodiversity of forest ecosystems, mountain and/or cultural landscapes is an advantage. You are an initiative, integrative and committed personality with good negotiating skills and a well-structured way of working. You are also motivated to develop the research unit scientifically, have convincing communication skills, and are fluent in English and at least in one Swiss national language.
Please send your complete application to Susanne Jost, Head of Human Resources WSL, by uploading the requested documents through our webpage. Applications via email will not be considered. Prof. Dr. Rolf Holderegger, Director WSL, Tel. +41 (044) 739 24 55, will be happy to answer any questions or to offer further information. WSL is committed to diversity and inclusion as core values. We actively promote gender equality and foster an open, inclusive work environment.
