Two PhD positions in wetland restoration with focus on hydrology (https://www.uu.se/en/about-uu/join-us/details/?positionId=606731) or ecology (https://www.uu.se/en/about-uu/join-us/details/?positionId=592270) at Uppsala University We are seeking two highly motivated and enthusiastic individuals to join our team in a new wetland (peatland) rewetting project. The successful candidates will be responsible for conducting research either on the

(1)Hydrology of wetlands (peatlands; https://www.uu.se/en/about-uu/join-us/details/?positionId=606731), or on the (2) Ecology and water biogeochemistry of wetlands (peatlands; https://www.uu.se/en/about-uu/join-us/details/?positionId=592270).

The goals are to quantify the effects of rewetting on water quality and hydrologic variables such as flow and storage, and to understand to what extent such effects are controlled by vegetation, wetland characteristics, and time since rewetting. The projects will include field work across Sweden, data analysis and modeling, and collaborating with other researchers and stakeholders in an international team.
