Eawag’s Department of Fish Ecology and Evolution is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to investigate fish migration and life history variation in anadromous Arctic charr. The project examines how glacial inputs shape fjord environments and how these environmental differences influence the ecology, movement patterns, foraging, phenotypic divergence, and local distinctiveness of Arctic charr populations. The research will compare populations using glacial-fed and tundra streams, fjords influenced ...

Not sure which position is right for you?

Your Twin reads your CV, searches every position by meaning, not keywords, and learns what you want as you apply. Ask it anything about your application.

Quick Questions

Do I need to contact a supervisor before applying for a PhD position?
In many European and Asian universities yes; in some US programs applications are centralized but supervisor contact still helps.
Is GRE required for master’s or PhD applications abroad?
It depends on the country and university — many programs have made GRE optional, especially outside the US.
Do funded PhD positions usually cover tuition and living expenses?
Yes. Most funded PhD roles include tuition coverage plus a monthly stipend, but details vary by country and lab.
Are publications required to apply for PhD or postdoc positions?
Not always required for PhD, but strongly recommended. For postdoc roles, publications are usually expected.
Will I need to pay a tuition deposit for master’s admission?
In many countries yes — especially for taught master’s programs — but funded PhD positions typically do not require deposits.
