The Department of Surface Waters - Research and Management (SURF) located in Kastanienbaum (Lucerne) has a vacancy for a

**PhD student (M/F/d) on inter-basin exchanges physical processes in lakes**:
This research opportunity is an integral part of an exciting SNSF funded project aimed at advancing our understanding of lake dynamics and their ecological implications. Lakes have traditionally been analyzed using a one-dimensional vertical framework due to seasonal density stratification, but this approach is challenged by observations of lateral density-driven flows. These flows, particularly prevalent in multi-basin lakes, contribute to heat budgets, deep water oxygenation, and fine-scale vertical structures. Despite their importance, little has been quantified about their basin-scale relevance, a pressing issue given the documented reduction of winter mixing depth due to climate changes. This study aims to address such research gaps by integrating high-tech in-situ experiments with modeling techniques, focusing on understanding interbasin exchange rates, associated turbulent mixing, and the impact of winter exchanges on deep-water formation and ventilation. The multi-basin Lake Lucerne and Lake Zug are proposed as ideal natural laboratories for this project.

**Eawag is** a modern employer and offers an excellent working environment where staff can contribute their strengths, experience, and ways of thinking. We promote gender equality and are committed to staff diversity and inclusion. The compatibility of career and family is of central importance to us.
