Two PhD projects to research how temperature and seasonal and daily temperature variability affect biodiversity, temperature tolerance and dispersal.

Predicting effects of changes in climatic conditions on the distribution of species remains highly challenging. Climate change is predicted to increase both mean temperature and variability in temperature, and it is critical to have a strong mechanistic understanding of how organisms are likely to respond to future thermal environments. The Climate Variability Hypothesis (Janzen 1967) relates seasonal thermal variability to species’ distributions, ...

Postdoctoral Lake Research position at APHYS, ENAC-EPFL

The Laboratory of Physics of Aquatic Systems (APHYS) at the Institute of Environmental Engineering ENAC / EPFL Lausanne (Switzerland) has an opening for an early-career science postdoctoral position on modelling primary production (PP) in stratified lakes.

In collaboration with the Limnology Center at EPFL (http://limnc.epfl.ch) and partner institutions in and around Switzerland we have started an interdisciplinary project to estimate PP with new in-situ methods. To strengthen the team, we look for a postdoc with ...

Contract linked to the TransHyMed research project

Pilar Llorens: pilar.llorens@idaea.csic.es

The Research, Development and Innovation Secretary of the Spanish Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness is funding a 4-year PhD contract. This contract is associated to the project:

Patrones espacio-temporales de transferencia de agua en cuencas Mediterráneas de cabecera. Conexiones entre vegetación y respuesta hidrológica (TransHyMed) (CGL2016-75957-R).

Spatio-temporal patterns of water in headwater Mediterranean catchments. Links between vegetation and hydrological response.

Research activity will be developed within the Surface Hydrology and Erosion group at IDAEA-CSIC ...

Skills:

• Population dynamics modelling; a first experience in individual-based modelling would be an additional asset.
• Interest for programming.
• Knowledge in biological aquatic science would be appreciated.
