Requisiti principali
- A Master's degree, or equivalent, in ecology, environmental science, geography, sustainability science, environmental policy, biodiversity governance, computational social science, data science, or a closely related field.
- Strong interest in biodiversity policy, ecosystem resilience, restoration, sustainability reporting, and the translation of ecological science into decision-making.
- Experience with literature synthesis, policy analysis, quantitative text analysis, network analysis, statistical modelling, or programming, preferably in R, Python, or comparable tools.
- Interest in AI-assisted analysis methods, science-policy interfaces, indicator development, monitoring frameworks, and EU environmental governance.
- Ability to work independently while contributing constructively to an international, interdisciplinary doctoral network.
- Excellent written and spoken English and strong scientific writing skills.
- Experience with EU biodiversity or sustainability policy, environmental assessment, corporate sustainability reporting, natural capital frameworks, stakeholder engagement, or open-science workflows is an advantage. MSCA Eligibility Criteria
- Applicants must meet the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network eligibility requirements at the recruitment date:
- Applicants must not already hold a doctoral degree.
- Applicants must be doctoral candidates and be enrolled, or eligible to be enrolled, in a doctoral programme at the University of Zurich.
- Applicants must work full-time and exclusively for the ReDiLEEP project during the appointment, in accordance with the applicable MSCA and UZH rules.
- Mobility rule: applicants must not have resided or carried out their main activity, such as work or studies, in Switzerland for more than 12 months during the 36 months immediately before the recruitment date.
Cosa offre l’azienda
- Our employees benefit from a wide range of attractive offers.
- The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary cohort of doctoral researchers and benefit from ReDiLEEP training in response diversity methods, data management, reproducible code, R/Tidyverse, machine learning and AI for ecologists, visualisation, evidence-based policymaking, science-policy communication, and policy brief writing.
Processo di candidatura
- Exceptions to the mobility rule apply for compulsory national service, refugee status, and temporary protection. Employment Conditions
- The University of Zurich invites applications for a Doctoral Candidate position in the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network ReDiLEEP .
- ReDiLEEP brings together leading universities, research institutes, and non-academic partners across Europe and beyond to advance response diversity research and translate new knowledge into ecosystem management, restoration, and biodiversity policy.
- The Doctoral Candidate will contribute to this effort by investigating how response diversity is represented in European biodiversity, restoration, and sustainability policy, focusing on the development of policy-ready indicators through AI-assisted text analysis and network analysis. Research Project DC11
- EU policy and legislation frequently reference biodiversity and resilience, yet major gaps remain regarding the mechanistic basis of resilience, particularly RD.
- Current policy instruments, including the EU Nature Restoration Law, Common Agricultural Policy, and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, lack clear RD metrics, quantitative targets, and monitoring requirements.
- DC11 will bridge science and policymaking by analysing how RD research can inform, and be informed by, European biodiversity and sustainability policies.
- Using AI-assisted text and network analysis, the doctoral researcher will identify conceptual alignments and mismatches between RD science and policy frameworks for biodiversity, restoration, and resilience.
