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...

Eawag, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, is offering a Master’s thesis project in chironomid biodiversity across Swiss lakes. The project is linked to the Swiss National Assessment of Lake Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (SNALBES) , an initiative focused on building a stronger scientific basis for monitoring biodiversity in Swiss lakes and connecting research with conservation and management needs. The student will work with chironomids collected during the plann...

Eawag, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, is offering a Master’s thesis project in freshwater ecology , evolutionary dynamics , biodiversity , and ecosystem functioning focused on subarctic lakes in Greenland. The project is hosted by the Department of Fish Ecology and Evolution (FishEc) and contributes to a newly funded Swiss National Science Foundation project on eco-evolutionary community assembly in subarctic lake ecosystems. The research context is especially exc...

Eawag, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, is offering a Master’s thesis project in freshwater biodiversity , community ecology , macroinvertebrates , and lake ecology within the Department of Fish Ecology and Evolution (FishEc), in collaboration with the Aquatic Ecology department.
