MSCA PF position in "Nature-based solutions for reducing eutrophication and improving the ecological status of inland waters"  via EURAXESS

Slovenia National Institute of Biology

Ljubljana, Slovenia 🇸🇮

Offer Description

Are you an ambitious postdoctoral researcher ready to build scientific independence, strengthen your profile, and tackle real‑world challenges?
Join the National Institute of Biology (NIB), Slovenia, as your host institution for a Marie Skłodowska‑Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA‑PF) and develop cutting‑edge research in a dynamic, international, and highly supportive environment.

Supervisor: dr. Tina Eleršek 

Topic: Nature-based solutions for reducing eutrophication and improving the ecological status of inland waters

The research would focus on quantifying the effectiveness of nature-based solutions (e.g. constructed wetlands, floating treatment wetlands) in nutrient removal and assessing their impact on biological quality elements (primary prodcucers) within the framework of the Water Framework Directive and similar frameworks. Particular emphasis would be placed on experimental approaches, data analysis, modelling, and linking process-based understanding with including citizen science activities and management recommendations.
