PhD Announcement: turbulence in the lake surface layer - Eawag (Switzerland)

We would like to advertise this open four-year PhD position on turbulence in the lake surface layer at Eawag (Switzerland). This PhD project aims at better characterizing the surface layer structure, quantifying energy pathways and developing methodologies for continuous monitoring of surface turbulence. This research will benefit from the unique infrastructure provided by the LéXPLORE platform on Lake Geneva.

We will begin interviewing potential candidates by February 1, 2026, but the position will remain open until filled. The anticipated starting date is Summer 2026 or by mutual agreement.
