The High-Resolution Weather and Climate Modeling Group at the Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Sciences (IAC), ETH Zürich, is offering a fully funded PhD position focused on severe thunderstorms, mountain meteorology, and climate change. Supported by a Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) Ambizione grant, this opportunity is ideal for candidates interested in advancing the understanding of how topography and climate change influence hail and wind gusts in mountain regions. The project p...

This fully funded PhD position at ETH Zürich offers an exciting opportunity to investigate modern and ancient microbial drivers of biogeochemical cycling in tropical wetlands. The project is embedded within the Surface Earth Evolution (SEE) group in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences and the Sustainable Agroecosystems (SAE) group in the Department of Environmental Systems Science. Together, these groups integrate field-based sample collection and monitoring with advanced lab-based bi...

ETH Zurich is offering two fully funded PhD positions as part of the SNSF-funded LacMai Project, a multidisciplinary collaboration between the Sustainable Agroecosystems (SAE) and Surface Earth Evolution (SEE) groups. The project investigates the climatic and anthropogenic controls on greenhouse gas emissions in the Tumba-Ngiri-Maindombe region, the world's largest tropical wetland, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The research aims to reconstruct biogeochemical cycles and microbial communit...

The High-Resolution Weather and Climate Modeling Group at the Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Sciences (IAC), ETH Zurich, is offering a fully funded PhD position as part of an SNSF Ambizione grant. The research focuses on the combined effects of mountains and climate change on severe thunderstorms, with a particular emphasis on idealized numerical modeling using the ICON model. The project aims to identify physical drivers behind enhanced climate trends over mountainous regions, leveraging...
