About this position
EPFL is advertising a PhD position in Sion on forest treeline management in the Swiss Alps. The project sits at the intersection of plant ecology, machine learning, and ecological modeling, with a strong applied focus on forest management and decision support for regional and national stakeholders.
The doctoral researcher will study the dynamics of alpine forest treelines, project how these systems may change in the future, and help co-develop management tools that can be used in practice. The post is hosted by the ECEO laboratory at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), and the announcement mentions collaboration with Christophe Randin.
This is a PhD opening, not a scholarship announcement. The post does not specify funding amount, tuition coverage, or language-test waivers in the excerpt provided. It also does not list detailed eligibility criteria such as a required degree, GPA, or test scores, beyond the thematic fit with ecology and machine learning.
