Open Positions
Doctoral student in ecosystem water vapor exchange (100%, 4 years)
We are currently looking for a reliable and enthusiastic doctoral student to join the ECOVAP project. The project aims to evaluate and partition evapotranspiration in Swiss agroecosystems along a management and climate gradient, with a focus on the influence of extreme events on ecosystem water vapor exchange.

The project includes fieldwork and plant ecophysiological measurements, as well as eddy covariance data analyses and processing.
Eligible candidates must have a completed Master’s degree in atmospheric sciences, environmental sciences, agricultural sciences, ecology, or a closely related science field, combined with experiences in micrometeorology, biogeochemistry, and/or plant ecophysiology, as well as good statistical skills, experience with fieldwork, and programming experience.
