Phd in Ecology
vor 2 Wochen
**Department of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies**
**PhD in Ecology (up to 4 years) 80 %**: Start of employment 01.07.2025, temporary
The position is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation project “A mechanistic theory of functional responses: zooming into movement behaviour to understand and predict predator prey interactions”.
1. Develop a scalable method that uses movement behavior in both single-prey and multi-prey situations to predict functional responses across different predator-prey pairs.
2. Understand the mechanisms that change the shape of functional responses and how these changes affect the stability of the predators and their prey.
**Your responsibilities**:
- The PhD student will conduct a series of experiments using microbial predator-prey communities under controlled laboratory settings using a 3D tracking system. This system facilitates high-resolution, high-throughput measurements of both individual behaviour and functional responses. The collected data will help to test hypotheses explaining variation in functional response shapes and serve to parameterize a model that derives the functional response from the underlying movement behaviour (conducted by the partners at the University of Amsterdam). The project involves frequent visits and exchanges between UZH and the University of Amsterdam.
**Your profile**:
- Knowledge of ecological concepts and theory, particularly those pertinent to movement ecology, community stability, species interactions and food webs.
- Experience designing, running, and analysing ecological experiments.
- Proficiency in scientific writing.
- Project management skills.
- Ability to work in a team and independently.
- Prior laboratory experience with microbial systems, an interest in quantitative approaches (statistical and mathematical modelling, programming) and method development (3D tracking) is a plus.
Employment start date to be mutually agreed, preferentially July 2025 or soon thereafter. The employment will be for up to 4 years.
