Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL The Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL is part of the ETH Domain. Approximately 600 people work on the sustainable use and protection of the environment and on the handling of natural hazards.
Within the framework of recently funded binational WEAVE project, the ‘Forest Health and Biotic Interactions’ Research Unit and it’s group is offering a position, starting April 1, 2026 or by agreement, for the duration of 2 years  (with the option for 1 year extension), as a

PostDoc in “Drought Legacy Effects on Tree Crown Chemodiversity, Leaf Microbiome, and Insect Herbivores” 80-100% (f/m/d)

The goal of this project is to study how drought severity and drought legacy effects modulate the interactions among phytochemical, bacterial, and herbivore diversity as well as herbivore behaviour and leaf damage patterns in mature forest tree crowns.
