4 Tenure Track Group Leader Positions on Climate Change Adaptation
vor 2 Monaten
Topic 1: Biodiversity
You are a researcher who works on biodiversity in the context of climate change adaptation. Aquatic systems, renowned for their rich biodiversity, are vulnerable to the effects of climate change. They are experiencing rapid changes due to rising temperatures, shifting precipitation patterns, and – at higher altitudes – melting glaciers. At the same time, climate change can lead to changes in water quality, exposing organisms to combinations of chemical or microbial pollution and physical stressors that contribute to biodiversity decline. Given its unique geographical and environmental characteristics, Switzerland offers opportunities for addressing challenges posed by climate change and biodiversity loss in mountainous regions, rivers and lakes.
Topic 2: Public health
You are a researcher working at the interface of climate change adaptation, water resources, and human health. Climate change significantly affects our water resources, which are central to human health. One important example is regions of the Global South where vulnerable populations are disproportionately impacted and often face heightened risks of chemically polluted water, malnutrition, and waterborne diseases. Extreme weather events exacerbate health disparities, requiring climate-resilient solutions for safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene, and engineering solutions for resilient infrastructure. The development of effective strategies to mitigate and adapt to climate change, including engaging in international cooperation and support, are crucial for empowering communities and strengthening public health systems globally.
Topic 3: Water resources and reuse
You are a researcher who works towards developing and improving circular economy approaches in the water sector in urban and non-urban settings. Sustainable water resource management, the prevention of chemical and microbial pollution, and environmental restoration are key strategies for ensuring good water quality and sufficient water quantity, and working towards adaptation to climate change. This includes both technical and nature-based solutions for surface and groundwater. Reusing water and reclaiming other resources associated with the water cycle are needed to advance circular economy concepts. This is valid for urban, non-urban and agricultural areas, which all play a vital role in sustainable development and resource management.
Topic 4: Other aspects of climate change adaption in aquatic systems
We also encourage you to apply if your research focus falls outside the specified profiles but is relevant for climate change adaptation in aquatic systems. Apply
Across all profiles, we are interested in research efforts incorporating inter- and transdisciplinary approaches including those that benefit from, or synergize with, the diverse and impactful ongoing research of the institute. In addition, we are interested in the application of emerging technologies and methods such as machine learning.
You bring the following qualifications and motivations: You have a PhD degree and a track record in high quality research in a field related to the profile; we welcome degrees from natural, social, as well as engineering sciences. You are interested in collaborating with interdisciplinary research teams at the institutional level and within the ETH Domain, as well as with other national and international partners. You are keen on engaging with policymakers and stakeholders to connect your research with real-world impact. This position will allow you to establish a group with high international visibility and to collaborate with others to advance your research agenda and create impact. By taking advantage of Eawag’s strong interdisciplinary environment and its world-class infrastructure and facilities, you will acquire third party funding, build up a research group with PhD students and postdocs and contribute to Eawag’s mandate in educational outreach and expert consulting.
We offer an exciting and stimulating research environment with excellent opportunities for collaborative research. We are a team of about 500 scientists and support professionals from over 40 nationalities who collaborate on pressing topics in aquatic science and technology.
