About this position

The Plant Ecology Group at the University of Tübingen is seeking a Senior Research Assistant / PostDoc in Plant Ecology within the Institute of Evolution and Ecology.

The successful candidate will pursue independent research compatible with the scientific themes of the Plant Ecology Group, the wider Institute of Evolution and Ecology, and the TERRA and GreenRobust Clusters of Excellence. The role offers scope for a strongly conceptual research programme in plant population ecology, community ecology, biotic interactions, restoration ecology, global change biology, and invasion biology.

The postdoctoral researcher will also contribute to undergraduate and graduate teaching in plant population and community ecology, biostatistics, conservation or restoration ecology, and basic botany. Teaching will take place within an active research environment spanning plant ecology and broader evolutionary and ecological science.

This opportunity is based at the University of Tübingen and is structured as a parental-leave replacement position, with the possibility of extension. The role may also be split.

Funding details

Full-time position at 100% under the German E 13 TV-L pay scale. The one-year parental-leave replacement contract is scheduled to start in early 2027, with an option for extension; the position can be split.

What's required

Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in ecology or a related field and ideally have postdoctoral experience. Excellent knowledge of plant ecology, a strongly conceptual approach to science, and expertise in one or more of plant population ecology, community ecology, biotic interactions, restoration ecology, global change biology, or invasion biology are expected. Candidates should have excellent skills in designing, conducting, and analysing ecological experiments, as well as excellent writing and presentation skills. Solid species knowledge and teaching experience are welcome. Some German is required for undergraduate teaching, while most teaching will be in English. Applicants must submit a letter of interest, teaching and research concept, CV, publication list, and arrange for two independently submitted reference letters.

How to apply

Email one single PDF containing a letter of interest, teaching and research concept, CV, and publication list to Prof. Dr. Katja Tielbörger at [email protected]. Arrange for two reference letters to be sent independently to the same address.
