14 PhD – Positions in the RTG 2530

The Research Training Group (RTG 2530) “Biota-mediated effects on carbon cycling in estuaries” is inviting applications for 14 PhD positions (f, m, d). Applicants should have a keen interest in interdisciplinary research on the role of effects of biota on estuarine carbon cycling. The 14 doctoral projects built on the results of the first two cohorts of doctoral researchers. Doctoral researchers comprise empirical studies at established research stations along the Elbe estuary, carry out (joint) mesocosm studies, laboratory experiments and/or further develop and apply mechanistic ecosystem modelling. Specific focus in this third cohort of doctoral researchers is on “trophic control of carbon fluxes”, on “biota-mediated aquatic-terrestrial coupling” and on “spatial and temporal upscaling approaches”.
