My lab has an open position for a PhD student to join the lab. We’re looking for someone bright, motivated and collaborative to study how seed and seedling pathogens influence forest regeneration and diversity. This project would be part of a broader PhD with room to develop your own projects. This project is in close collaboration with the Plant Ecology Group at ETH Zürich, which is led by Professor Janneke Hille Ris Lambers.

If you’re interested, please find more information (including how to apply) on this page.

We’re open to folks from diverse training backgrounds. If your background is more computational and/or mathematical but you’d be excited to spend a few weeks outside and do a little lab work then you could be an ideal candidate; if you’re really interested, please apply no matter how well you think you line up with the ad.

Application review begins 1 July 2025 so apply soon for full consideration.
