Biogeography/Conservation: Analysing the distribution of groundwater amphipod species across Switzerland in the context of range sizes, dispersal pathways, refugia and expected global change effects. Collaboration in establishing a red list for these species, such that they can act as ambassador species to promote the protection of groundwater/subterranean ecosystems.
AND/ OR - Taxonomy/ Phylogeography: Genetic and morphological analysis of groundwater amphipod species, including many endemic species. Taxonomic and faunistic work, describing newly discovered species.
We offer state-of-the-art infrastructure, including molecular laboratory facilities (for DNA barcoding and e DNA metabarcoding), field-work, and access to a unique long-term dataset of thousands of amphipod samples/DNA sequences/sites sampled over the last 10 years. The planned research project will fit in the wider range of research conducted in the Altermatt lab, involving conceptual and experimental work on groundwater ecosystems. The postdoc is expected to build and link to these capacities and general interests of the lab and to maintain stakeholder interactions. For our previous work (incl. publications), see also https://www.amphipod.ch/en/literature-en/publications/ and https://grundwasserfauna.amphipod.ch/
Competitive applicants have expertise in community ecology, spatial ecology, biodiversity sciences and statistics. Previous experience in taxonomic work (species descriptions), molecular techniques (barcoding, metabarcoding) and bioinformatics (metabarcoding data analysis) is highly desired. Applicants will be highly motivated, enthusiastic and independent scientists. They must have a good conceptual understanding of ecological theory and analytical skills. Excellent communicational and writing skills in English, experiences with publishing scientific articles, good work ethics, and creative thinking are a must. A Ph D in ecology, evolutionary biology, biodiversity sciences or related subject is necessary for admission.
