1-year fellowship in Shoebill Conservation Genetics with support for a further 3-year PhD fellowship100% / Start July 1, 2026, or negotiableAfrican Parks and the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Basel, Switzerland (https://duw.unibas.ch/en/ecoevo/), in collaboration with Copperbelt University and The University of Zambia, are offering a 1-year research position that should lead into another 3-year PhD fellowship in the field of Conservation Genetics.Your positionThe shoebill is an iconic bird species endemic to central eastern Africa, with the southernmost breeding population remaining in Zambia. Despite its large distribution area, the bird is rare, but precise numbers are lacking. The research will use molecular genetic tools to analyze the number of individuals in the Bangweulu Wetlands, their genetic isolation, and how genetically distinct shoebill populations across Africa generally are.In the fully-funded first year, you will become acquainted to African Parks' conservation efforts for the shoebill in Bangweulu Wetlands (July to August 2026) and then work as a guest student and intern at the University of Basel, Switzerland (September to December 2026) where you will attend courses in relevant fields (bioinformatics, population genetics) and work in the lab. In parallel, you would write a PhD fellowship application to the Swiss Government Excellence Fellowship with support from African Parks, University of Basel, Copperbelt University and University of Zambia.Practical work involves visits to remote Shoebill nests and help at the conservation facility in Bangweulu Wetlands, wet lab work, bioinformatics, population genetic analysis, and proposal writing.Your profileWe are looking for highly motivated Zambian nationals, date of birth after 31 December 1991. The candidate must have a master's degree in ecology, wildlife biology, or conservation completed before 31 July 2026. In addition to an interest in evolutionary and conservation biology, the candidate should be committed to doing field work, wet-lab work, learning about bioinformatics, including R and shell programing, and analyzing data using population genetics tools and theories. The candidate should have good self-organization, be solution-oriented, and have good spoken and written English.We offer youThe fellowship is fully funded for 1 year including flights between Switzerland and Zambia. There is possibility of a 3-year extension based on fellowship applications.

Reimbursement will be adjusted to the work location (Switzerland vs. Zambia). In Switzerland, financial support will include accommodation, health insurance, and money to cover living expenses. Basel is a well-connected, mid-sized Swiss city offering a broad range of cultural and recreational activities.

2 PhD positions in Quaternary Palaeoecology / chironomid-based climate reconstruction100% / Possible date of entry: July 2026The Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Basel invites applications for two PhD positions in the research group Geoecology. Where have warm-adapted ecosystems and organisms survived unfavorable conditions in the past? What were the environments that characterized such refugial areas during the Quaternary Ice Ages? How and with which dynamics did warm-adapted organisms expand from these areas under warming climate after the ice ages? These are central questions for both Biogeography and Quaternary Palaeoecology, and the answers provide the basis for predictions of ecosystem and species response to future climatic change.We are looking for PhD candidates that will work towards resolving these research questions in the interdisciplinary SNF research project ECO-ICE. The project will collect, analyse and interpret new lake sediment records from key refugial localities covering the Last Glacial Maximum. This will allow a revised assessment of the survival of temperate tree populations in Europe and their response to major climatic variations during and after the last ice age. The successful candidates will develop high-resolution palaeoecological records of aquatic invertebrate assemblage change, particularly focusing on the remains of chironomid (non-biting midge) larvae. Based on these sensitive temperature indicators, they will develop quantitative reconstructions of glacial temperatures using multivariate statistical methods, results that will be compared with other, independent temperature reconstructions, high-resolution palaeobotanical records, and vegetation modelling scenarios developed by project partners. This research will be essential for developing new palaeoclimate scenarios for ice age Europe, for understanding ice age ecosystems, and for reassessing the ice age refugia and postglacial expansion of temperate trees in Europe.Your positionThe two PhD students will work in close collaboration with six other PhD candidates at the Universities of Basel and Bern and contribute to fieldwork in Western, Central and Southern Europe, sedimentological analyses and dating of ice age lake sediment records. They will produce records of fossil chironomid assemblage change, identifying chironomid and other aquatic invertebrate remains under the microscope, and develop ecological and numerical interpretations of the results. They will take the main responsibility for developing palaeoecological temperature records at key project sites and, together with other PhD students and project partners, contribute to the overall interpretation of the project results. The positions are funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) for four years and salaries will follow SNF guidelines (www.snf.ch).Your profileApplicants should hold an MSc in Earth or Environmental Sciences, Physical Geography, Ecology, Quaternary Science, Paleoecology, or a related field. Experience in paleolimnology, palaeoecology, limnology, microfossil analysis and/or sediment work would be an advantage. Candidates should be motivated to conduct fieldwork abroad and have good English language skills. Good communication and organizational skills, willingness to take on responsibility for individual subprojects and motivation to work in an interdisciplinary team environment are essential.We offer youUniversity of Basel is an equal opportunity employer. Salaries are according to the staff-regulations and depend on the qualifications and experience of the candidate.

With more than 70 research groups and 800 employees, the Department of Biomedicine is the largest department at the University. We are located in the heart of Basel at 6 different locations. Be part of our future!Your positionHigh-throughput drug screening has traditionally relied on 2D cell culture systems, which often fail to capture the structural and metabolic complexity of in vivo patient tumors. This project aims to overcome that limitation by extending our high-throughput metabolic fingerprinting platform into 3D cancer models such as spheroids and organoids. By combining untargeted metabolomics, high-content imaging, and computational modelling, we will systematically compare how 320 small molecules reshape metabolism in both 2D and 3D environments. The resulting dataset will reveal which drug-induced metabolic programs are shared between dimensional contexts and which emerge uniquely in physiologically relevant 3D systems. Ultimately, this work will generate a high-impact resource that improves mechanistic drug profiling and informs model selection across cancer research and drug discovery.In line with our and Uni Basel values (https://www.unibas.ch/en/Research/Values-Ethics/Diversity.html), we are committed to sustain and promote an inclusive culture, ensure equal opportunities and value diversity and respect in our working and learning environment.We are seeking a highly motivated 100% Research Intern to support the development, benchmarking, and large-scale profiling of 3D cancer models within our multidisciplinary team.

PhD position, SNSF project Modern Painting and the Lesbian GazeThe SNSF project Modern Painting and the Lesbian Gaze: Queer Women Artists in Europe, 1900–1950, hosted at the University of Basel's Institute of Art History (Departement of Arts, Media, Philosophy) and led by Prof. Dr. Charlotte Matter, offers a full-time doctoral position for the duration of 3.5 years. In analyses of artworks from the first half of the twentieth century, feminist art history has largely overlooked non-heterosexual sexuality and desire, while queer art history has primarily focused on the works of gay men. Against this background, the project proposes the notion of the 'lesbian gaze' as a methodological provocation to decentre the male and heterosexual gaze as dominant frameworks for interpreting modern painting.The project brings together feminist and queer approaches to reposition the practices of women painters within queer art history. It adopts an intersectional framework that foregrounds the significance of class for queer lives, as well as for conditions of artistic production, thematic concerns and the circulation of artworks. Grounded in rigorous art-historical analysis, the project focuses on painting – a medium with a long tradition of gendered hierarchies that has therefore been critically reassessed by feminist scholars – to demonstrate how queer women artists negotiated, subverted or reappropriated its conventions.The project employs the term 'women' not as a fixed, biologically determined category, but in a way that is mindful of a spectrum of gender experiences, some of which may not have been publicly articulated in the first half of the twentieth century. The umbrella term 'queer women' refers to people who transgressed dominant heteronormative frameworks and lived – or contemplated – non-normative sexualities and gender identities at that time.Case studies, conducted by the project leader and two doctoral researchers, will be accompanied by a range of scholarly activities designed to reflect on questions of terminology and to advance methodological approaches. These include an ongoing reading group, two international workshops, and an open-access co-edited volume. The project leader focuses on Irène Zurkinden and Leonor Fini, while one doctoral researcher (already appointed) examines the work of Émilie Charmy. We invite applications for a second doctoral position to investigate one or several further queer women painters working in Europe in the first half of the twentieth century. Possible case studies for this dissertation project include, but are not limited to: Jeanne Mammen, Gertrude Sandmann, Lotte Laserstein, Anita Clara Rée, Gluck, Gwen John, Patricia Preece and Dorothy Hepworth, Tove Jansson and Tuulikki Pietilä, Gerda Wegener and Lili Elbe, and Jeanna Bauck and Bertha Wegmann.
