PhD Position at the Swiss canopy crane (SCC)
The Swiss Canopy Crane research site near Basel is the only place worlwide where
mature forest trees are exposed to future CO2 concentrations. In the upcoming
funding period, which will lead us into year 6-9 of forest canopy CO2
enrichment, there will be a focus on below ground responses. The offered Ph.D.
project will explore root responses, soil CO2 emission and stable carbon
isotope allocation from the forest canopy to soil biota. The project will
profit from already installed devices and will capitalize on initial stable
isotope works at this site. Applicants should have a background in experimental
ecology or plant physiology and will be selected by their proven skills of data
analysis, scientific writing and English language skills. For SCC see

total should be directed to Prof. Christian Körner, Institute of Botany,
University of Basel using the subject code SCC-PhD: <[log in to unmask]> (cv,
photo, published works if any, references). The job is available immediately
(April 1, but no later than July 1, 2006).
