WSL (the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research) is advertising a post-doctoral position on the ecology of biological invasions, a collaborative project with eawag (the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology). The aim of the project is to compare invasions in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems primarily at large (national) spatial scales and among several higher-level taxa (insects, molluscs, crustaceans, all major vertebrate classes, and plants), test the biotic resistance hypothesis, and explore the role of factors that could influence invasiveness and invasibility.
