About this position

The Chair of Nature Conservation and Landscape Ecology at the University of Freiburg is offering a PhD opportunity in ecology focused on independent, student-designed research. The position is open to candidates interested in fundamental or applied questions in pollination ecology, wild pollinator conservation, and plant-insect interactions.

The chair welcomes original project ideas rather than a predefined thesis topic. Suggested directions include pollination ecology in forest ecosystems, the ecological roles of rare and threatened wild bee species, and the use of artificial intelligence in ecological research. The successful candidate will develop a research project that fits the broader scientific profile of the chair and contributes to its work in nature conservation and landscape ecology.

The PhD researcher will carry out an independent project within a collaborative research environment, with opportunities for fieldwork, laboratory work, data collection, data analysis, and publication in international peer-reviewed journals. The role also involves contributing to joint research activities and engaging with an internationally oriented research group.

This opening is based in Freiburg, Germany, within an interdisciplinary and collaborative academic setting that supports both independent research and scientific exchange.

Funding details

Part-time employment at 65% funded at E13 TV-L; no additional funding is available for contract extension or conference travel/participation.

What's required

A Master's degree or equivalent in Ecology, Biology, Environmental Sciences, or a related discipline is required. Applicants should demonstrate scientific curiosity and the ability to develop original research questions. Experience with ecological fieldwork, data collection, statistical analyses, or species identification is an advantage, and knowledge of statistical software such as R is desirable depending on the proposed topic. Excellent written and spoken English is required.

How to apply

Prepare a single PDF containing a cover letter, CV, 1–2 page research proposal, degree certificates, and contact details of two references. Submit it via the University of Freiburg application platform. Interviews are planned for 21–22 December 2026.
