Phd Position in Metacommunity Dynamics Modelling

vor 3 Wochen


Bern, Schweiz Universität Bern Universität Bern Vollzeit

**PhD position in Metacommunity Dynamics modelling**:
A 100% funded PhD (3-4 years) position is available in the establishing research group of Evolutionary Game Theory led by Professor Xiang-Yi Li Richter at the University of Bern, Switzerland. The positions are part of the Swiss National Science Foundation Starting Grants project "Integrating modeling and experiments to study species coexistence in metacommunities."

1. How do higher-order multi-species biological interactions play out in heterogeneous spatial networks?
2. How do the dispersal network topology and dispersal rate influence the likelihood of coexistence?
3. Does the evolution of traits in each species promote or impede coexistence? Is coexistence more likely when the interacting species coevolve?

The desired starting dates are negotiable, but ideally between September and December 2023.
