Zurich and the Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL (www.wsl.ch) invite
applications for an assistant professor position to lead a research group=

extensive research collaborations with those professorships and research
groups at ETH Zurich and WSL that share similar interests, and with other=

al
of this professorship will be to develop an integrative approach that

the drivers of environmental change, so as to develop a predictive
understanding of how landscape patterns emerge.

The new professor will develop an internationally recognized research
program focusing on the interactions between the spatial patterns of land=

cover and ecological processes, with implications for the provision of
multiple ecosystem services. His or her research will contribute to the
development of new concepts to assess, predict and manage landscape dynam=
ics
at regional scales over decades to centuries.The new professor will be
expected to teach undergraduate level courses (German or English) and
graduate level courses (English).

This assistant professorship has been established to promote the careers =
