Postdoctoral Position in Optical and Microwave Remote Sensing of Forest Water Dynamics Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL in Switzerland

This PhD project at EPFL’s Plant Ecology Research Laboratory (PERL) examines how forest canopy temperature and spectral properties track tree physiological responses to increasing atmospheric drought and soil water limitation. The research aims to understand how forests regulate canopy temperature and water use under drought stress and to develop approaches for mapping forest vulnerability from individual trees to large spatial scales. The work is highly interdisciplinary, combining plant ecophy...

EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland is offering a full-time PhD position within the Plant Ecology Research Laboratory (PERL) focused on forest ecophysiology , remote sensing , forest ecology , and plant responses to drought . The project will study how forest canopy temperature and spectral properties reflect tree physiological responses to increasing atmospheric drought and soil water limitation. The research combines field ecophysiology, forest drought experiments, thermal and spectral remote sensin...

ETH Zürich is offering a fully funded PhD position in glaciology and glacial hazards through the Laboratory of Hydraulics, Hydrology and Glaciology (VAW) and the ICEFAL Project. The research focuses on cold hanging glaciers in the French and Swiss Alps, investigating how climate warming affects glacier stability and ice-avalanche risk. The doctoral project combines high-altitude fieldwork with glacier modelling and geospatial analysis, providing an interdisciplinary research environment at the i...

Doctoral Student in Glaciology and Glacial Hazards at ETH Zurich This PhD opening is part of the ICEFAL project, a Swiss-French consortium studying the stability of cold hanging glaciers under climate warming in the French and Swiss Alps. The project combines glaciology, high-mountain hazards, thermo-mechanical modeling, field measurements, and regional geospatial analysis to build a hazard-potential index for hanging glaciers. The successful candidate will work with the Professorship of Glaciol...
