Zurich, Schweiz Eawag Vollzeit

Within the framework of a joint initiative, which is funded by the ETH-Domain, the new Translational Centre Biodiversity Conservation of WSL, ETH Zürich (D-USYS) and Eawag will provide conservation professionals (local, regional, and national authorities, planning offices and environmental consultancies, NGOs) with synthesized information on topics relevant to their daily work. To best serve practical conservation management in Switzerland, the Translational Centre Biodiversity Conservation, in close collaboration with stakeholders, will identify salient topics for synthesis. The Centre uses a fully collaborative and translational approach from beginning to end, meaning that all boards and working groups are equally composed of scientists and practitioners and all decisions are taken jointly. The produced synthesis products will be broadly disseminated to conservation managers in Switzerland.

The Translational Centre Biodiversity Conservation is steered by a board of practitioners, scientists, and the Centre Manager, who leads the Centre’s operation. The synthesis work will be carried out in topical working groups equally composed of researchers and practitioners led by three scientists and the Centre Manager. The Centre Manager and the three scientists collaborators, each focusing on a particular field (aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, policy and governance) form a team and closely work together. In addition to office space at their home institutions (WSL, Eawag and ETH Zürich), they will be offered joint working space at Eawag, where they find close interaction with other science-practice initiatives within the ETH-Domain and beyond.

The Translational Centre Biodiversity Conservation is offering four positions:
