yDiv – Graduate School and Postdoc Programme of iDiv
spokesperson: Prof. Dr. Robert Paxton, coordinator: Dr. Nicole Sachmerda-Schulz (funding 2012-2024)
Biodiversity refers to the diversity of life – not only species diversity but also genetic diversity, diversity of functions, interactions and ecosystems. Human actions dramatically change this diversity: species become extinct, genetic information and entire ecosystems are lost. At the same time, we know little about the extent of these changes, the underlying processes and consequences for humanity.
As part of iDiv, the graduate school offers great opportunities of courses and networking. yDiv doctoral researchers accumulate valuable skills in assimi- lating knowledge and techniques from various disciplines, method courses and a wide range of transferable skills training.
The doctoral programme provides early-career researchers with an excellent starting position for a successful career in the field of biodiversity research or other exciting academic and non-academic positions upon completion of their PhD. [read more]
