2 open PhD positions at the Physiological Plant Ecology Group
The Physiological Plant Ecology group of the University of Basel investigates the ecophysiological processes in plants that determine the fluxes of water, nitrogen, and carbon in natural and agricultural ecosystems. The goals of our research are to understand how plants operate in the context of their environment and to reveal how plants shape the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. The open positions are within the SNF project FORDROUGHT, where we seek to understand the drought vulnerability and acclimation potential of temperate European tree species. The project is situated at the Swiss Canopy Crane II research site, where a large-scale and long-term throughfall manipulation experiment is being installed (https://ppe.duw.unibas.ch/en/sccii/).
