Dear all,
I recently started as a full professor at the Chair of Applied Vegetation Ecology at the University of Freiburg, Germany (www.ecology.uni-freiburg.de). My research assistant Stefan Kaufmann (formerly Graz and Goettingen), who is skilled in bryophytes and lichens, and me (lichens) want to continue working on topics related to lichen and bryophyte ecology and diversity on our new positions.
We are currently looking for a PhD candidate, who would be interested to work on the diversity of epiphytic lichens and bryophytes in the Black Forest, south-western Germany. The aim of our planned research is to quantify how retention forestry might help to conserve lichen and bryophyte diversity by sparing selected trees from harvesting across forest generations.
With our study, we want to answer several key questions, which are highly relevant with respect to nature conservation and forest management. Questions we want to address include to what extent old aging trees are capable of significantly increasing the epiphyte diversity of the total forest and if forest connectivity exerts a significant influence on the prospects of success to conserve epiphyte diversity by retention forestry.
We are explicitly interested in candidates from the international lichenological and bryological community and will be able to cover travel costs for interviews. We will be able to hire a candidate from inside or outside the EU. The salary will be c. 45,000 EUR per year, including health insurance and other social benefits. Candidates should have a valid driving license (which would have to be converted into a German driving license after 6 months in the case of non-EU citizens), be able to communicate in English or German and to write their thesis in English. The successful candidate should be skilled in either lichens or bryophytes, but should feel able and willing to familiarize with the other respective group during the project.
The project will take place on existing plots in the scope of a graduate school (www.confobi.uni-freiburg.de), where other candidates will work on other organism groups. Everyone interested in this call should feel free to contact Stefan Kaufmann (stefan.kaufmann@ecology.uni-freiburg.de) or me (markus.hauck@ecology.uni-freiburg.de) for questions or to express the interest in the position. Formal applications must be submitted via e-mail (confobi@uni-freiburg.de) [or conventional mail] to the coordinator of the graduate school (www.uni-freiburg.de/verwaltung/stellenboerse/00000254) until 20 January 2019. Starting day in Freiburg would be in July 2019.
Best wishes,
Markus Hauck
