PhD Researcher in Urban Ecology and Acoustics

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our team at the Technical University of Munich. The successful candidate will focus on the interconnections between biophonic and anthrophonic sounds and environmental features, with an emphasis on vegetation complexity, urban infrastructure, and bird diversity.

The research project, part of the CitySoundscapes project, aims to identify how the characteristics of urban soundscapes relate to the structural complexity of urban green spaces, sound-based biodiversity in urban green spaces, and human health. The PhD researcher will utilize terrestrial mobile laser scanning (TLS) and automated recording units (ARUs), as well as advanced modeling techniques, to quantify songbird diversity indices and their relationship with greenspace structure and surrounding urban landscape.

The results of this work will contribute to tools and guidelines for creating multifunctional and biodiverse urban green spaces in Munich. The PhD researcher will work closely with our interdisciplinary team, combining urban ecology, environmental psychology, acoustics research, and urban planning to provide information for the planning and management of urban green spaces in the city of Munich and beyond.

The research is funded by the Research Initiative for the Conservation of Biodiversity (FEdA) and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The PhD researcher will have the opportunity to collaborate with stakeholders and engage with citizen science initiatives to promote biodiversity-based health interventions.

Requirements:

  • Master's degree in a relevant field (e.g., ecology, biology, environmental science, acoustics)
  • Strong background in urban ecology, environmental psychology, or a related field
  • Excellent research skills and experience with data analysis and modeling
  • Good communication and teamwork skills
  • Fluency in German (written and spoken)

Application: Please submit your application, including your CV, a cover letter, and contact information for two academic references, to the Technical University of Munich. We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from diverse candidates.
