Postdoc in Climate Change Impacts on Alpine Stream Phenology

Model how warming changes the timing, biomass and nutritional quality of emergent aquatic insects in alpine streams, and compare these changes with riparian-bird phenology. Develop and test fine-scale stream-temperature predictions across the Swiss Alps and link them to empirical insect and bird data. The two-year role is based in Kastanienbaum with ETH Zurich and SLF collaborators; the preferred start is spring 2027. Evaluation began 2 November 2026 and continues until filled.

Experience analysing time-series data, ideally phenology or climate datasets, plus excellent communication and interdisciplinary teamwork. Hydrological or stream-temperature modelling is an asset; interest in mentoring is welcome. English is the working language, and a Swiss national language is helpful. Submit a motivation letter, CV, two referee contacts and one representative peer-reviewed publication PDF.
