JobAd for an Intern in river restoration ecology/plant biology, 80-100% (f/m/d): As part of a project on the connectivity of riparian plant species and their ability to establish under various flow regimes, we are looking for support in doing field work for seed collection, with greenhouse experiments where we grow selected seeds and with laboratory experiments using a flume to simulate plant resistance under various discharge conditions. The focus of your work will be the preparation and supervision of the greenhouse and laboratory experiments, including filling of pots and a flume with gravel and sand, as well as planting of seeds and juvenile plants. You will acquire knowledge on dispersal and establishment of riparian plants, the impact of river flow regimes on riparian plant establishment suitable for restoration projects, and gain insights into an interdisciplinary and applied research project on ecology and hydraulic engineering. You hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in (plant) biology, environmental sciences, or a related field. You are interested in plants, you like to work in the greenhouse and to conduct laboratory experiments. You are comfortable with field work in gravel-bed rivers, can lift 2L pots with gravel and sand, and are physically fit for these tasks. You work reliably and conscientiously and are interested in interdisciplinary work (ecology and hydraulic engineering with a focus on river restoration). You have a drivers license (Cat B, valid for Switzerland,), speak fluent English, and you like to work in a team. Suitable candidates holding a Bachelor's degree could also connect the internship with a master thesis on the topic of plant resistance to discharge fluctuations (e.g. seasonal floods or hydropeaking).
#Intern wanted! Bachelor’s or Master’s in (plant) #biology or similar field, comfortable with field work in gravel-bed rivers and holding a driver’s license? Our group Ecosystem dynamics offers a 6 month #internship: apply.refline.ch/273855/1831/... #ScienceJobs #RiverRestoration #STEMInternship

Cover page of Mountain Research and Development, Volume 45, Number 4. The cover photo by Dipak Raj Rai shows countless pieces of chhurpi—a hard cheese made from yak buttermilk—stored on overhead racks in a dark room with an earthen floor, stone walls, and a black wooden ceiling. The room also contains a wooden chair, baskets, and various other utensils. The chhurpi was produced by a private dairy in Gatlang, Nepal. While the state-supported marketization of yak products has boosted some households’ income, it is simultaneously eroding traditional sustainable herding practices and causing environmental degradation, as shown in the article by Indra Mani Rai and colleagues in this issue.
Another issue is complete! Articles examine changes in yak herding in Nepal, challenges in implementing science–society interaction policies in mountain biosphere reserves worldwide, and topography’s role in socioeconomic development in the European Alps. Read the issue: bioone.org/toc/mred/45/4
