15 PhD positions: Biota-mediated effects on Carbon cycling in Estuaries (BiCEst) 2213 views

The University of Hamburg’s RTG2530 Biota-mediated effects on Carbon cycling in Estuaries (BiCEst) Research Training Group is offering offers 15 PhD-Positions (f, m, d) as part of RTG2530. The positions are expected to start on 1 January 2021 and will run for three years.

The aim of the group is “Biota-mediated effects on Carbon cycling in Estuaries” (BiCEst) is to provide Doctoral and Postdoctoral Researchers an outstanding platform for their career development and to systematically analyze the role of indirect effects of biota (IEB) on estuarine C cycling.
