About this position

Aalborg University is offering a three-year PhD stipend in Predicting Terrestrial Ecosystem Responses to Changing Arctic Catchments. The project is based in the Department of Chemistry and Bioscience and forms part of the interdisciplinary From Catchment to Coast research project.

The PhD will examine how climate warming changes terrestrial ecosystem structure and biogeochemical processes, and how those changes affect downstream freshwater and marine environments. The research will follow a natural environmental gradient in Greenland, investigating the effects of temperature, precipitation, snow cover, soil moisture, and seasonality on vegetation, invertebrates, soils, microbial communities, and carbon and nutrient cycling.

Potential research directions include assessing terrestrial ecosystem responses to increasing temperature, understanding warming-driven changes in Arctic soil carbon and nutrient cycling, linking vegetation and soil processes to catchment runoff, identifying terrestrial variables that predict freshwater and marine ecosystem responses, and evaluating whether southern Greenland sites can serve as analogues for future conditions farther north.

The project may draw on terrestrial species observations, automated weather-station data, vegetation and invertebrate surveys, soil measurements, DNA barcoding, drones, and automated imagery or video systems. The PhD student will help define the detailed science programme in collaboration with the supervisory team and will participate in field campaigns in South Greenland, as well as spend time at the collaborating institutions.

The research is a collaboration between Aalborg University, Aarhus University, and the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources. At Aalborg University, the Department of Chemistry and Bioscience provides a broad research environment spanning biology, chemistry, biotechnology, bioengineering, environmental science, and chemical engineering, with a substantial community of researchers and PhD students.

Funding details

A three-year full-time PhD stipend is offered. Employment and salary follow the Danish Ministerial Orders and the collective agreement between the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations and the state (AC collective agreement), with terms applicable to a PhD Fellow.

What's required

Applicants must hold a relevant master's degree in biology. Field experience, data analysis, and programming skills in R, Python, MATLAB, or similar are desirable. Candidates should be team players able to contribute actively in a diverse and international laboratory environment, with strong oral and written English communication skills. Enrollment in Aalborg University's Doctoral School of Engineering and Science is required. The PhD includes 30 ECTS of coursework, teaching or other knowledge dissemination, and an external research stay outside Aalborg University, preferably 3–6 months at a foreign research institution.

How to apply

Submit the application through Aalborg University's recruitment system using the application portal. Include an application letter explaining your motivation and qualifications, a CV, a 1–2-page project description excluding references, bachelor's and master's diplomas with grades, and other relevant documents.
