About this position
Florian Altermatt (Full Professor of Aquatic Ecology at the University of Zurich and member of Eawag) is advertising two postdoctoral positions in his group at the University of Zurich & Eawag.
Postdoc 1: Spatial genomics of aquatic invertebrates — a 3-year, 100% position focused on establishing and analysing genomic diversity in multiple aquatic keystone species, including aquatic insects and amphipods, using a spatially explicit approach.
Postdoc 2: Alien species detection using eDNA — a 2-year, 100% position focused on establishing and developing analytical pipelines to analyse and survey invasive alien species using existing eDNA datasets.
Relevant academic keywords include aquatic ecology, spatial genomics, aquatic invertebrates, genomic diversity, eDNA, invasive alien species, bioinformatics, and biodiversity monitoring.
The post explicitly encourages applicants to bring their own contributions and ideas, and notes that there will be extensive intellectual freedom to shape the project. The announcement does not list a stipend amount, but these are full-time postdoctoral research positions.
Applications are handled through the linked Refline portals. The post says the application deadlines are in early August 2026.
