Postdoctoral position in Ecohydraulics and drift in riverine systems

The Chair of Groundwater and Hydromechanics at the Institute for Environmental Engineering (IfU), ETH Zürich, is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with experience in planning and conducting fieldwork to join an interdisciplinary research project on riverine ecosystems. The position is funded by a Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) project led by Dr Luiz G. M. Silva, within the group of Prof. Roman Stocker, and focuses on the development and deployment of a new‑generation underwater imaging device to transform drift studies in riverine ecosystems. It involves a collaboration with Associate Professor Jenni Raitoharju from the University of Jyväskylä, Finland.
