At the River Ecosystem Laboratory, we are still fascinated by high-mountain streams around the globe, working at the interface between geoscience, microbial ecology, and several other delights.https://bsky.app/profile/riverepfl.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/riverepfl.bsky.social/post/3mbm3qbwl4c2iThe RIVER Lab at EPFL hires a postdoc to work on ice algae in Greenland, likely also Antarctica. This is a great opportunity to work in an interdisciplinary team with colleagues at EPFL, Aarhus University and DTU.04 Jan 2026 14:04 +0000at://did:plc:ucixuheqgdeco4fgsghppjg3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbm3qbwl4c2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/riverepfl.bsky.social/post/3mae2xrz3ic2uJonas's wonderful paper on benthic biofilms and hydrodynamics out in https://hess.copernicus.org/articles/29/7201/2025/ now.
