#ecojobs #ecology #Alps #AlpineEcology
The job Cooperating in the field of periglacial vegetation development with other Helmholtz centres, we offer a PhD position (f/m/x) to survey and analyse the development of vegetation and associated microbiomes in glacier forelands of the Alps. Your tasks • Collection of vegetation data in glacier forelands and surroundings • Collection of soil and root samples • Analyses of soil and root associated microbiomes through meta-barcoding • Analysis of the link between vegetation and microbiome development as a function of (successional) time • Scientific publications We offer A lot of things, but space does not permit. Please see the link for details. Your profile • Degree (Master, Diploma) in biology, ecology, geoecology or comparable courses of study • Experience in the field of vegetation methods (vegetation surveys) • Field work experience in soil and root sampling for microbiome analysis • Lab skills to analyse the microbiome like DNA extraction, PCR, and sequencing • Knowledge of the Northern Alpine flora • Experience in high mountains and the ability to hike several hours a day and 1000 metres in altitude with luggage and equipment • Orientation skills in the mountains • Ability to work independently and solve unexpected problems • Statistical skills (preferably in R), knowledge of data storage (databases) desirable • Very good knowledge of English (communication in the working group, reading technical literature, writing technical articles)

We're excited to be part of a project that harnesses the power of combining long-term ecological data with dynamic modeling to better understand species responses to climate and landscape change.

Huge shout-out to Miriam Simma, who did all the recent marmot surveys and turned them into a fantastic master’s thesis! The original study can be found here: doi.org/10.1002/ece3...

Shifting Heights? A 40‐Year Resurvey of Alpine Marmot Distribution in Response to Climate Change
The Alpine marmot (Marmota marmota) is an alpine specialist that might be particularly affected by ongoing warming. Based on historical occurrence data from the year 1982, we resurveyed the marmot oc...

🦫 Climate change has had only a minor impact on marmots near Davos – for now! Using a 40-year-old dataset, we resurveyed marmots along an altitudinal gradient. They now live ~86 m higher, but range margins are unchanged. More here: www.slf.ch/de/news/klim...

Klimawandel lässt Murmeltiere vorerst kalt
Murmeltiere leben heute höher als vor 40 Jahren – ihr Lebensraum hat sich durch den Klimawandel aber nicht grundlegend verschoben.

🧬 Adaptation to cold is a major evolutionary force shaping alpine plants.
But biotic interactions, like herbivory, also play a role, even in the harshest environments. (9/9)

🌿 Thrilled to have hosted Margherita Tognela, a PhD student from @UniPavia, last autumn! Her work on plant traits helping alpine species survive climate change is groundbreaking. Plus, she’s uncovering how tundra fires impact Arctic plant regeneration - stay tuned for her findings! #AlpineEcology

NEW PAPER OUT!
Matteo Dainese led this review about “Global change experiments in mountain ecosystems”.

Have a look at it, download and read it, it is #OpenAccess and for free ;)
