Doctoral research training program I doc.funds AlpsChange

10 PhD positions available in the research training program “Alpine geo- and biodiversity during environmental changes (AlpsChange)” at the Universität Salzburg in our new doctoral program funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, we join forces to develop a state-of-the-art interdisciplinary research and training agenda.

With a consortium involving scientists across a wide range of disciplines including geology, geomorphology, ecological and evolutionary botany and zoology, as well as history, we ask: (1) What are the effects of environmental perturbations on geo- and biosystems, and how do changes in one system translate to the other system? (2) What are the feedback loops between geo- and biosystems? (3) Which past and future dynamics can be inferred when integrating data from geoscience, bioscience and history?
