The Research Training Group "R3 – Responses to biotic and abiotic changes, Resilience and R

eversi-bility of lake ecosystems" funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and based at the University of Konstanz welcomes applications for up to

 

15 PhD Positions

 

for a three-year structured program. The RTG will start on 1 April 2017.

 

The scientific goal of this RTG is to study the mechanism resulting in the resilience of lake ecosystems to environmental change. Our approach is to study the response of a model system – Lake Constance – with a multitude of different approaches and from different viewpoints, i.e., combining classical and novel methods such as population genomics and metagenomics approaches, metabolic profiling, compound-specific stable-isotope analyses, comparative multi-species experiments, paleo-limnological and resurrection ecology approaches, time-series analyses, and numerical simulation models.
