Two Postdoc Positions in Aquatic Ecology, Spatial Genomics, and eDNA at University of Zurich and Eawag University of Zurich in Switzerland

Eawag, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, offers a six-month master’s thesis in microbial ecology at its Kastanienbaum site near Lucerne, Switzerland. The project investigates bacterial and archaeal diversity in Swiss lakes as part of the Swiss National Assessment of Lake Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (SNALBES). The successful student will use approximately 100 lake samples to study microbial community diversity and composition through 16S rRNA gene amplicon seq...
