Jobs & PostDocs
Closing date for applications: • Location: LeipzigStudent assistant (f/m/x) for bioelectrochemical removal of pharmaceuticals and antibiotic resistence genes
Closing date for applications: • Location: LeipzigStudent Assistant (f/m/x) – Global distribution of crop yield measurements (database & interactive map)
The aim of the project is to identify, collect and collate real-world measurements of crop yields and grassland biomass, create a database and build an online interactive map to showcase the database.
Closing date for applications: • Location: LeipzigStudent Assistant (f/m/x) – Habitat selection of agricultural birds based on movement data
The aim of the project is to download and curate movement data from the Movebank database and use fine-resolution maps of land cover and other environmental variables to explore the intra-specific variation of habitat selection patterns of agricultural birds.
Closing date for applications: • Location: LeipzigStudent Assistant (f/m/x) – The drivers of insect population declines
The aim of the project is to associate insect population trends with land use changes and bioclimatic variables, taking into account temporal variation and spatial autocorrelation.

Graduation Work / Internships
Closing date for applications: • Location: LeipzigMaster Thesis – Agricultural Landscapes
The optimal allocation of land uses that maximize the provision of ecosystem services is one way to address environmental problems in agricultural landscapes. In the thesis, the master student will couple a newly developed interactive optimization algorithm (based on NSGA-II) with simple models for different ecosystem services.
Closing date for applications: • Location: LeipzigBachelor/ Master Thesis: Exploring the Impact of Mycorrhizae on Tomato Cultivation in Vertical Farming Systems
We are seeking a motivated student with a strong interest in sustainable agriculture, microbiology, and plant sciences to join a pioneering research project in vertical farming. The candidate will gain hands-on experience in hydroponic cultivation, microbiome engineering, and data analysis, contributing to a growing body of knowledge aimed at revolutionizing urban agriculture.
Closing date for applications: • Location: LeipzigMaster Thesis – Drug residues in the lactate fermentation of human feces
As part of the “Faekashi” research project we are developing a process for the simple and cost-effective treatment of human feces from dry toilets using lactate fermentation. Against this background, we are offering a position to write a Master’s thesis.
