Internship in Evolutionary Ecology of sub-Arctic Ecosystems

vor 3 Wochen


Dübendorf, Schweiz eawag Vollzeit
The position will be based in the group of Blake Matthews, whose group focuses on the ecological dynamics of natural selection, and the reciprocal interactions among ecological, ecosystem, and evolutionary dynamics. Information about ongoing projects can be found at . 
You  will support members of the group in the analysis of invertebrates and fish collected from Southern Greenland from field excursions over the past 5 years. Duties might include quantifying the species composition and trait variation of macroinvertebrate communities and life history evolution of zooplankton, and morphological and physiological variation of stickleback fish. 
We  are looking for an enthusiastic, curious and conscientious worker who enjoys lab work involving field collections of aquatic organisms (e.g. microscopy, photography, morphological analysis, sample processing). Prerequisite for the application is the enrollment at a university or college, ideally a degree program in Biology or Environmental Sciences (bachelor or master’s degree, but not yet completed). A good level of English is required. 
If you are excited about the topic, and are eligible for an internship for a period between Aug-Jan 2024, you are invited to apply. We offer a collaborative research environment at our dynamic research environment at the shores of beautiful Lake Lucerne. If necessary, accommodation is available in one of our furnished guest apartments. The position is situated in the .

    In the research group ‘River Fish Ecology’, we study the ecology and evolution of fish in riverine ecosystems. We work mainly at the interface between ecology and evolution and realize again and again that these two traditionally separate disciplines are interdependent. More specifically, we are working on adaptation, fish migration and river fish...
