Eawag, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, is a Swiss-based and internationally networked aquatic research institute within the ETH domain (Swiss Federal Institute of Science and Technology).

It is committed to the ecologically, economically and socially responsible management of water resources and aquatic ecosystems.

The Fish Ecology & Evolution Department located in Kastanienbaum (Lucerne) has a vacancy for a Group Leader in Ecology and Conservation of River Fish.

Applications are sought from individuals with an excellent research record in river fish ecology, an earned doctorate in a relevant field (e.g., ecology or conservation biology), and an interest in integrating applied research in fish conservation and habitat restoration with the initiation of a strong research program on river fish ecology in Switzerland drawing from evolutionary, ecosystem and community ecology perspectives.

This program will benefit from the large diversity of riverine habitats in Switzerland and the planned investment of public funding into the restoration of river habitat over the coming decades. Research that combines field work, data analysis and theory is needed to inform and strengthen the scientific basis for decision making in conservation and management of fish and habitat restoration.
