  • Subproject 01: Plant Physiology (1 PhD position)

    Principle Investigators: Claudia Guimarães-Steinicke and Hannes Feilhauer, Leipzig University Summary: Climate change will increase the occurrence of extreme events that trigger both species evolution and selective removal of not well-acclimated…

  • Subproject 03: Root trait diversity (1 PhD position)

    Principle Investigators: Weigelt, Alexandra, Leipzig University; Mommer, Liesje, Wageningen University Summary: Biodiversity can be considered as the earth’s safety net for mitigating climate change, as biodiversity is known to increase…

  • Subproject 05: Soil nutrient dynamics (1 PhD position)

    Principle Investigators: Yvonne Oelmann, University of Tübingen Summary: Extreme events such as floods or droughts affect the availability of water and, thus, inevitably impact nutrient cycling in soils. The majority…

  • Subproject 06: Plant nutrient responses (1 PhD position)

    Principle Investigators: PD Dr. Christiane Roscher, UFZ/iDiv Summary: Plant tissue nutrient concentrations and ratios are important predictors of ecosystem processes and ecological interactions. The major objective of the subproject “Plant…

  • Subproject 07: Soil multistability (1 PhD position)

    Principle Investigators: Nico Eisenhauer, Leipzig University; Simone Cesarz, Leipzig University; Cordula Vogel, Technical University Dresden Summary: Healthy and stable soil is a prerequisite for well-functioning terrestrial ecosystems and has thus…

  • Subproject 08: Microbiome & Stress (1 PhD position)

    Principle Investigators: Stefanie Schulz, Helmholtz Zentrum München; Michael Schloter, Technische Universität München Summary: If you are eager to apply molecular, isolation and inoculation techniques to answer burning questions related to…

  • Subproject 09: Plant antagonists (1 PhD position)

    Principle Investigators: Michael Bonkowski, University of Cologne; Sigrid Neuhauser, University of Innsbruck Summary: Microbial plant pathogens play important roles in biodiver­sity-ecosystem function relationships. This project investiga­tes the roles of Oomycetes…

  • Subproject 10: Consumers and functions (1 PhD position)

    Principle Investigators: Anne Ebeling, Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena; Sebastian T. Meyer, Technical University of Munich Summary: Invertebrates in grasslands are highly diverse and essential for trophic interactions and ecosystem functioning. Plant diversity…

  • Subproject 11: Networks and energy fluxes (1 PhD position)

    Principle Investigators: Stefan Scheu, University of Göttingen, Ulrich Brose, University of Jena & iDiv, Leipzig Summary: The project addresses the quantitative structure and stability of soil food webs along the…

  • The Jena Experiment is seeking PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and technical staff

    Within the DFG Research Unit FOR 5000 (Biotic interactions, community assembly, and eco-evolutionary dynamics as drivers of long-term biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships), nine four-year PhD positions, a three-year postdoctoral position, and…
