PhD Position in Coupled Networks and Ecosystem Stability in Spatially Coupled Food Webs University of Bern in Switzerland

The University of Basel (Department of Environmental Sciences, research group Ecology) is recruiting a fully funded postdoc in ecological modelling focused on global change , mountain plant ecology , and species range shifts . The project will model the relaxation times of accrued lags of plant species across Europe’s mountain ranges using a spatially explicit dataset on species-specific shifts and lags over recent decades. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with team members and ...
