Department of Palaeontology

MNF/Open PhD position Branching spirals in deep time: Ammonoid phylogeny and macroecology 80 %

Start of employment Fall 2026, temporary

The Nekton Palaeobiology group at the Department of Palaeontology of the University of Zurich invites applications for a PhD position. The successful candidate will work in a Swiss National Science Foundation supported research project under the supervision of Adjunct Prof. Dr. Christian Klug. Ammonoids range among the most important groups of invertebrates used in biostratigraphy and are excellent objects to address a broad range of palaeobiological questions, and yet, there is no up-to-date phylogeny. This research project is highly collaborative and focuses on the evolution of ammonoids.

Your responsibilities

The offered PhD project will focus on building an ammonoid phylogeny in a Bayesian framework in collaboration with two Postdocs, the project leader, and a large group of international collaborators. The PhD candidate will: 1) help to define morphological characters for character matrices to study ammonoid evolution; 2) choose a large group of ammonoids, for which representative taxa shall be scored; 3) carry out Bayesian and parsimony analyses, which (4) will be integrated in an ammonoid supertree; 5) study an additional important aspect of ammonoids, such as dimorphism or variability.

Your profile

The ideal candidate will be a highly motivated student of Life- or Earth Sciences with a biological, geological or palaeontological background. Excellent writing skills in English are required. Knowledge in working with methods to reconstruct phylogenies such as Bayesian and parsimony would be great; alternatively, it is expected that this knowledge is acquired early during the project. Some computational skills or experience with statistics are expected. Knowledge on ammonoid palaeobiology would also be very helpful. German language skills are an asset in daily life in and around the university but are not mandatory for the position.

Information on your application

To apply, please send a letter of motivation including information on previous scientific work and publications if available (maximum of 2 pages), a CV (maximum of 2 pages), and contact details of two referees. Please ensure that all those parts are combined into a single PDF-file. Together with an electronic copy of the Masters-thesis, please send your application to: Prof. Dr. Christian Klug ([email protected]).
Review of applications starts end of June 2026, but applications will be considered until the position is filled. Applicants should be prepared to be interviewed by beginning or second half of August 2026.
