SWITZERLAND PhD Student in Ecological Genetics
January 24, 2008
The Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and
Landscape Research WSL is part of the ETH Domain.
Approximately 500 people work on topics related
to the sustainable use and protection of the
environment and on an integrated approach to
handling natural hazards. Species respond to
climate change by either adaptation or migration.
The Research Unit Ecological Genetics and
Evolution is thus investigating the genetic
adaptation of alpine species to temperature as
well as their migration capacity by using
molecular methods. We are searching for a
PhD Student in Ecological Genetics
You will identify genetic markers of adaptive
significance by using genome scans on Arabis
alpina and Arabidopsis thaliana and by transplant
experiments in alpine environments, analyze the
data, co-operate with other groups within the
CCES-BIOCHANGE initiative and write scientific
publications. Data from a pre-project are at your disposal.
Your profile: Master thesis in population or
ecological genetics of plants, experience with
genetic lab techniques and statistics, fluent in
written and spoken English, used to work in alpine terrain.

Got something to say?


i am a PhD student in technical University of Isfahan (Iran) and i am going to find an open position in hydraulic and sediment transport ( river Eng.) in germany.
would you please help me?
