Three Interdisciplinary Phd and Postdoc Positions
vor 3 Wochen
Three 100% funded **PhD (3-4 years) or Postdoc (2+ years)** positions are 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.”_
The specific PhD or Postdoc projects will be developed individually and should focus on using a combination of theoretical and empirical approaches to study how coexistence between interacting microbial species/strains can be maintained in spatially heterogeneous and temporally changing metacommunities, such as in soils, fermented foods, and the human gut and skin microbiota.
We aim to answer the following central questions:
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?
One of the three projects will focus on the empirical side, involving experiments with microorganisms (e.g., phage and bacteria interacting on dispersal networks formed by fungal hyphae). The other two projects will be mainly theoretical, involving mathematical modeling, computer simulations, statistics and data analysis.
**Profile**:
The desired starting dates are negotiable but ideally between September and December 2023.
We offer
The gross salary is around 48K CHF per year for PhD students and 80K CHF per year for postdocs. We offer a stimulating research environment with access to high performance computation facilities, funding for presenting studies at international conferences at least once a year, and unlimited funding for publishing peer-reviewed articles in open access journals. The city of Bern is ideally located in the middle of Switzerland and Europe, and provides rich cultural and outdoor activities.
