A PhD position in Adaptation and Ecosystem resilience is open at the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology EAWAG, an internationally networked aquatic research institute within the ETH Domain (Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology). The position is part of the project 'A trait-based eco-phenotypic framework for understanding resilience and tipping phenomena in ecosystems' led by Dr. Catalina Chaparro. The project aims to develop a comprehensive framework of resilience in ecosystems integrating ecological, phenotypic traits, and environmental stress dynamics. In this project, the PhD candidate will develop and analyze eco-evolutionary models and datasets to study how adaptation contributes to maintaining resilience in ecosystems. This is mainly a theoretical and computational research project. We are looking for an enthusiastic and self-motivated person to learn new skills or explore new topics. Candidates for this position should hold a MSc in the biological sciences or different fields in the natural sciences (e.g., computational, mathematical, earth sciences) with a strong interest in ecology. Experience in programming and mathematical modeling would be an asset. Good communication skills are essential. The deadline for applications is 15 November 2024 or until the position is filled. Your application should include a cover letter explaining your research background and motivation to apply for this position, a CV, copies of your academic qualifications, and contact information for two references.
