Fully funded PhD (E13 TV-H, start 01.10.2026) in the DFG Research Unit GArua (C3) at JLU Giessen (Germany). How much water do cloud forests drink from fog? You'll measure cloud-water interception in the Galápagos highlands with a mobile epiphyte lysimeter and reproduce it in a process-based hydrological model.

Master's in Hydrology/Environmental Sciences/Geoecology, fieldwork experience, Python or C++, and a willingness for Galápagos field campaigns.

Deadline 15 Aug 2026 (ref. 293/09).
