Research group Grassland Sciences by Prof. Buchmann offers support for a PhD student or faculty, support financially for ~3 months, possibly part time in Institute of Agricultural Sciences (ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland). Research we do focuses on two major research areas, plant and ecosystem physiology, including functional plant diversity, and ecosystem biogeochemistry, in particular, biospheric-​atmospheric greenhouse gas exchange and carbon sequestration. We work in forests (despite the name of the group), grasslands and croplands. Ideally skills/interests of candidates are a strong interest in process- and system-oriented science, effects of climate change and biodiversity loss on agroecosystems and forests.
