PhD positions
Promotionsprojekt „Trockenes Grünland“
Haben Sie einen Master-Abschluss in der Ökologie (oder in einem verwandten biologischen Teilgebiet) und möchten den Einfluss von extremen Dürre-Ereignissen auf Ökosysteme erforschen und zu diesem Thema auch promovieren? Suchen Sie nach einer Möglichkeit, unter sehr guter fachlicher Betreuung einen eigenen Projektantrag für eine solche Promotionsstelle an die Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (DBU) zu richten?
Wir – Prof. Nico Eisenhauer (iDiv Leipzig: Experimentelle Interaktionsökologie) und Dr. Harald Auge (UFZ Halle: Experimentelle Ökologie von Populationen und Lebensgemeinschaften) – möchten Sie gern dabei unterstützen, einen solchen DBU-Antrag anzufertigen, und möchten Ihre Promotionsarbeit bei einer Bewilligung dieses Antrags auch betreuen.
