Uni Bern: PhD position (4 years): environmental DNA (eDNA) as a tracer of hydrological processes in snow and ice dominated catchments
In the Hydrology Group at the Institute of Geography, University of Bern Starting date: January 2026 You will be part of the bilateral research project Hydrology from Genes: what does eDNA tell us about melt contributions? led by Dr. Natalie Ceperley. The project examines stream contributions and flow paths in snow and ice-dominated catchments of the Oregon Cascades (USA) and the Swiss Alps. By combining traditional tracers (stable isotopes and geochemistry of water) with naturally occurring environmental DNA (eDNA) data, we will perform a detailed analysis of hydrologic transitions, such as seasonal shifts. This project will conduct eDNA sampling across four catchments, where non-target metagenomics analysis will be conducted on samples of watershed discharge and water sources throughout the catchment to identify the individual genes present in water samples. In the last years of the project, the PhD student will also be involved in outreach workshops in Switzerland and Oregon. ohws.prospective.ch
