About this position

Postdoc opportunity at Danube University Krems in the Research Lab for Aquatic Ecosystems and Health, Austria.

The project focuses on aquatic food web ecology and the movement of fatty acids through pond food webs, from algae to zooplankton to fish. The work combines field sampling in northern Austria with controlled feeding experiments and advanced analytical approaches such as GC-C/P-IRMS, MALDI, and EA-IRMS for compound-specific stable isotope analysis.

This is a fully funded postdoctoral position for 1 year, supported by the FWF-funded HydroFat project. The post mentions an international team spanning Austria, Czechia, Finland, Canada, and China.

Eligibility highlight: prior training in aquatic food web ecology is required.

How to apply: submit a single PDF with a background/motivation statement, CV, and three references. Send it to [email protected] before 31 Oct 2026.

Location: Krems, Austria.
