Position: Postdoctoral Researcher
Start reviewing process: 15 July 2023

There is currently an opening for a post-doctoral research scientist in the field of Earth Surface Process and Biodiversity Modeling. The position is in the Earth Surface Dynamics Group under the supervision of Prof. Sean Willett in the Department of Earth Sciences at ETH Zurich.
This position is part of a broad project to explore and model the connections between landscape evolution and biological speciation and diversification over geological timescales. Collaborators within the Department of Environmental Sciences will also be involved in the project. The fundamental question to be addressed is how tectonics affect physical geography or other landscape factors defining habitat and how the change in those parameters over space and time impacts speciation, species dispersal and biodiversity. Your task will be to develop and test numerical models based on existing landscape evolution models and will collaborate on applications. Model applications will include a range of tectonic and geomorphic scenarios and the implementation of biological dispersal models for both aquatic and terrestrial flora and fauna.
Applications should include:
- curriculum vitae,
- two references,
- a letter describing motivation and experience.
Application review will begin on July 15th and will continue until the position is filled.
Please note that we exclusively accept applications submitted through our online application portal. Applications via email or postal services will not be considered.
