The University of Hohenheim is offering a PhD opportunity in the Department of Ecological-Economic Policy Modelling on the economics of organic food demand and biodiversity-friendly consumption. The doctoral researcher will analyse consumer preferences and demand for organic food products using large-scale household scanner data. The project will estimate demand systems such as AIDS or EASI models to understand purchasing behaviour and the factors influencing choices that may support biodiversit...

This PhD project is based at the Institute of Geology and Mineralogy | Geobiology at the University of Cologne and is embedded in the DFG Priority Programme SPP 1158 Antarctic Research . The research focuses on the palaeoecological evolution of lakes in East Antarctica , with particular attention to how microbial communities changed during the Holocene in response to environmental and climatic shifts. The successful candidate will work with sediment deposits from several Antarctic lakes to recon...

This postdoctoral position at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena focuses on building and commissioning bespoke peripheral equipment for an isotope ratio mass spectrometer to measure δ13C and δ2H isotopes of methane. The work sits within the Biogeochemical Signals (BSI) department and the Stable Isotope Service Laboratory (BGC-IsoLab) , where high-precision stable isotope measurements are used to support research on greenhouse gases and element cycles. The project is centered on...
