The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), Valais Wallis, Sion. Switzerland.

EPFL, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, is offering a challenging position as a full-time (100%) PhD Student. As a PhD student, you will develop new technology for forest treeline management in the Swiss Alps. You will design artificial intelligence models to map the treeline evolution from high resolution remote sensing data and then expand on those results with ecological predictive models, projecting the treeline trends in the future using climatic and planning scenarios. You will then analyse drivers of change in a land-use and climate change context. You will work hand in hand with forest professionals and animate co-development workshops to define concrete planning objectives, as well as design management tools for practitioners.

Contract Start Date is 9 September 2026.

Atmospheric Dynamics Group at the Department of Atmospheric and Cryospheric Sciences (ACINN), University of Innsbruck, Austria.

The Atmospheric Dynamics group at the Department of Atmospheric and Cryospheric Sciences (ACINN), University of Innsbruck, Austria, invites applications for a Postdoc and a PhD position. Both positions are part of the FWF-funded project MIXMOBL (Multiscale Interactions and Exchange in the Mountain Boundary Layer), led by Alexander Gohm. MIXMOBL is embedded in the international TEAMx initiative. Focusing on the Nafingalm target area (Weer Valley, Austria), the project will investigate multiscale atmospheric interactions, leveraging extensive observational data from the 2025 TEAMx summer campaign. Successful candidates for both positions will apply the novel Portable Model for multiscale Atmospheric Prediction (PMAP) over realistic and truly complex Alpine terrain to perform nested mesoscale and Large-Eddy Simulations (LES).

Application deadline 29 July 2026.
