EPFL, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, is one of the most dynamic university campuses in Europe and ranks among the top 20 universities worldwide. The EPFL employs more than 6,500 people supporting the three main missions of the institutions: education, research and innovation. The EPFL campus offers an exceptional working environment at the heart of a community of more than 17,000 people, including over 12,500 students and 4,000 researchers from more than 120 different countries.
The Catchment Hydrology and Geomorphology Lab ( CHANGE ) and the Soil Biogeochemistry Lab ( SOIL ) at EPFL in Sion are looking for a postdoctoral researcher in the area of wetland ecohydrology and biogeochemistry.
Wetlands play a key role in the global carbon cycle by storing 30% of the world’s soil carbon on only 3% of the total land surface area. However, many wetlands are currently degraded, often by draining to be converted to agricultural land. These degraded wetlands have not only lost their ecosystem functions, but are also significant sources of carbon dioxide and methane to the atmosphere. The restoration of degraded wetlands and their capacity to sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide by peat formation is key in the context of climate change. As a postdoc working jointly at SOIL and CHANGE, you’ll contribute to modeling and monitoring carbon sequestration capacity in Swiss wetland ecosystems.
