PhD and Postdoc Positions in Environmental Science, Geoscience, Biodiversity, and Related Fields (TERRA Cluster) University of Tübingen in Germany

The International Max Planck Research School for Global Biogeochemical Cycles (IMPRS-gBGC) is a doctoral programme at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena, offered in cooperation with Friedrich Schiller University Jena . It focuses on the fundamental processes that move carbon, oxygen and nitrogen between land, ocean and atmosphere, and on how these cycles respond to climate change and human activity. PhD researchers join an international, structured research environment and work...

The University of Cologne is offering a postdoctoral position in the General Ecology Research Group within the Institute of Zoology, led by Professor Patrick Fink. The project, “The Rhine Floodplain – a Biogeochemically Coupled System under Stress,” investigates the Rhine floodplain as an interconnected environmental system. The research links hydrology, sediment dynamics, biodiversity and greenhouse gas emissions to understand how floodplain processes respond to environmental stress. The succes...

This PhD project is part of the University of Cologne’s interdisciplinary initiative “The Rhine Floodplain – a Biogeochemically Coupled System under Stress” , which examines how altered hydrology reshapes floodplain sediment dynamics, biodiversity, food webs, microbial processes, and greenhouse gas emissions. The advertised doctorate focuses on soil microbial nutrient stoichiometry and soil-atmosphere exchange in river floodplains. The successful candidate will investigate how nutrient constrain...

This postdoctoral position is based in the Institute of Zoology, General Ecology research group at the University of Cologne and is part of the project “The Rhine Floodplain – a Biogeochemically Coupled System under Stress.” The project examines how altered hydrology shapes floodplain sediment dynamics, biodiversity, food webs, microbial activity, and greenhouse gas emissions. The successful researcher will develop a mechanistic framework connecting hydrological drivers with biotic, sedimentary,...

The University of Cologne’s Institute of Geography is offering an interdisciplinary PhD project on the Rhine floodplain as a biogeochemically coupled system under stress. The project examines how altered hydrology shapes floodplain sediment dynamics and the wider ecosystem response, linking physical and geochemical processes with biodiversity, food webs, microbial activity, and greenhouse gas emissions. The doctoral researcher will contribute to a collaborative project with other PhD students an...
