With these in hands, the project aims to verify how well reported dynamics of decline in rare plant species align with inferred trajectories of effective population size. Conversely, the project will also address whether habitat and species protection have had a beneficial impact, by slowing down or even stopping species' decline when measured in term of effective population size. Should this not be the case, the role of mutation accumulation may be investigated. Practical work involves collecting of plant material, wet lab work, bioinformatics, population genetic analysis, and growing plants to assess mutation accumulation.Your profileWe are looking for highly motivated applicants with a master's degree in evolutionary biology, population genetics, or conservation genetics. In addition to an interest in evolutionary and conservation biology, the candidate should be committed to: doing field work, wet-lab work, learning about bioinformatics, including R and shell programing, and analyzing data using population genetics tools and theories. Apart, the candidate should have good self-organization, be solution-oriented, and have good spoken and written English.

Postdoctoral Researcher in Marketing (Two Project Options) - 80% employment gradeStart date: February to April 2026 (or by agreement)The Marketing Group at the University of Basel invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher position with Prof. C. Miguel Brendl. This is a new position andcomplements another postdoctoral opening recently advertised in our group. Candidates may apply to both positions.Your positionThis is an 80% employment contract for initially two years; additional compensation may be available and can be discussed with shortlisted candidates. The post-doc's role is project-focused, contributing primarily to one of the following projects:Project A – Synthetic Data for Theory-Driven Behavioral ResearchThis project investigates how large language models (LLMs) produce synthetic responses to psychological experiments and how these compare with human data. Within the scope of a given behavioral domain, we design theoretically guided prompting strategies and study when LLM and human responses converge or diverge. The project requires an interest in how psychological theory can improve synthetic data and in deepening our understanding of when and why LLM-generated responses approximate human behavior. The project involves a collaboration between behavioral and computer scientists. The ideal candidate has some knowledge in both areas, and the specific behavioral domain is open to discussion.Project B – Understanding and Countering MisinformationThis project investigates how emotions shape people's belief in true and false claims. We have previously observed that emotional states can causally influence belief formation and that emotional interventions can reduce belief in false information beyond purely logical arguments. This project will involve designing behavioral experiments, conducting online field studies, and theoretically developing possible mechanisms involved in belief updating. We also examine consequences of these beliefs, such as sharing on social media.Your responsibilitiesConduct high-quality research as a co-author within one of the two projects described aboveDevelop new ideas that advance the project's aimsContribute to grant proposal developmentEngage constructively with colleagues in ways that support the project's progressTeaching responsibilities of no more than 20%, including:grading short-essay assignmentspreparing multiple-choice questions for an introductory course, partly depending on your background in marketing or in behavioral sciencesupervising bachelor's and master's theses on topics you define that are appropriate for students in marketingYour profileWe welcome applications from candidates who will have completed their PhD by the start date. Relevant fields include behavioral marketing, psychology, experimental economics, quantitative marketing, or computer science. For Project A, experience with natural language processing and computational methods is advantageous, as well as knowledge of a behavioral science; for Project B, beyond experience with behavioral experiments, experience with online field methods is useful. For both projects, skills in statistical data analyses are important.You enjoy engaging with ideas in depth and are motivated by understanding concepts rather than simply completing tasks. You are willing to learn a literature carefully, develop explanations, and pursue conceptual issues that matter for theory and study design. You take initiative when encountering a gap in your knowledge and appreciate open, collaborative exchange.We offer youA two-year contract at 80% employment grade with the possibility of a third and fourth year contingent on performance.Opportunities for additional compensation beyond the 80% employment grade.Strong interdisciplinary links to psychology and decision sciences.Mentoring from Prof. Brendl on how to write manuscripts that meet the standards of premier journals in marketing and psychology.A strong placement record of former students and postdocs at leading international business schools (see Professor Brendl's CV online).An environment that values careful thinking, conceptual depth, and open discussion.

Postdoc-Position: Geschichte der Tschechoslowakei in der ZwischenkriegszeitAm Departement Geschichte der Universität Basel ist ab dem 1. August 2026 oder nach Abmachung die Stelle eines/einer wissenschaftlichen Mitarbeiter:in (Postdoc) in einem Projekt unter der Leitung von Dr. Fabian Baumann zu besetzen. Das Projekt The Threatened Republic: Treason, Disloyalty, and the Defense of Democracy in Interwar Czechoslovakia, finanziert durch einen Starting Grant des Schweizerischen Nationalfonds, untersucht die juristischen und politischen Strategien zum Schutz der territorialen Integrität und der ?demokratisch-republikanischen" Staatsform in der Ersten Tschechoslowakischen Republik (1918–1938). Die Mitarbeiter:innen werden mehrere Fallstudien staatsfeindlicher Bewegungen sowie der Instititutionen des Republikschutzes bearbeiten. Unter den neuen Staaten, die nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg in Ostmitteleuropa entstanden, war die Erste Tschechoslowakische Republik sowohl der demokratischste, als auch der prekärste. Zahlreiche innere und äussere Feinde lehnten sowohl die Grenzen des neuen Staats als auch seine demokratische Verfassung ab. Beim Versuch, die Republik gegen extremistische Bewegungen zu schützen, gingen die tschechoslowakischen Regierungen teils höchst repressiv vor, so dass ihnen selbst vorgeworfen wurde, die Demokratie zu untergraben. Somit verkörpert die Erste Tschechoslowakische Republik die Dilemmas einer Politik, die seit Karl Loewenstein als wehrhafte Demokratie bezeichnet wird. Das Projekt wird sich mit juristischen und politischen Strategien zum Schutz der jungen Demokratie befassen, wobei das Hauptaugenmerk auf politischen Gerichtsprozessen liegt. Indem es untersucht, wie der Staat und seine Bürger:innen die feinen Unterschiede zwischen legitimer Regierungskritik und Illoyalität verhandelten, leistet das Projekt einen Beitrag zur Geschichte der Demokratie und ihrer Blindstellen in einer Zeit, die von extremem Nationalismus, autoritärer Politik und territorialem Revisionismus geprägt war.Ihre AufgabenAls Postdoktorand:in tragen Sie durch eine eigenständige Studie zur Geschichte der Sicherheitsorgane und/oder der polizeilichen Überwachung in der Ersten Tschechoslowakischen Republik zum Gesamtprojekt bei und ergänzen damit die Forschungen der anderen Teammitglieder zur politischen Strafverfolgung. In ihrem Bestreben, den Staat zu verteidigen, stützten sich die tschechoslowakische Regierung und Justiz auf einen gut ausgebauten Sicherheitsapparat, um die Bevölkerung zu überwachen und ihre Loyalität zu überprüfen. Mögliche Postdoc-Projekte könnten sich beispielsweise mit der Institutionengeschichte von Organen wie Polizei, Gendarmerie, Armee oder Grenzschutz befassen, mit alltäglichen Praktiken der Polizeiarbeit und Überwachung, mit kulturellen Wahrnehmungen und Darstellungen des Sicherheitsapparats oder mit internationalen Sicherheitskooperationen.Zum Aufgabenbereich zählen:eigene wissenschaftliche Forschung, entweder Abschluss einer ersten Monographie oder von 2-3 Artikeln mit Peer Review (je nach Karrierestufe);aktive Mitarbeit an den gemeinsamen Forschungszielen des Projekts, Teilnahme an Teamsitzungen und der Lesegruppe im ersten Jahr, enge Zusammenarbeit mit Teamkolleg:innen;Mitarbeit bei administrativen Aufgaben, Konferenzorganisation, Kommunikation.Erwünscht sind zudem:Mithilfe beim Mentoring der zwei Doktorierenden im Projekt;akademische Lehre (1-2 Kurse während der 3 Jahre);Kommunikation von Forschungsresultaten an ein breiteres Publikum (in Blogs, Podcasts, Social Media usw.).Ihr ProfilSie haben ein abgeschlossenes Doktorat (PhD oder Äquivalent) in Geschichte.Sie haben bereits zur modernen Geschichte Ostmitteleuropas gearbeitet.Sie beherrschen fliessend Englisch, die Arbeitssprache unseres Teams, und ordentlich Tschechisch, die Hauptverwaltungssprache der Tschechoslowakei.

PhD position: History of Interwar Czechoslovakia (case study Bohemian Lands)The Department of History at the University of Basel, Switzerland, invites applications for a invite applications for a fully funded, four-year (1 plus 3) PhD position in a history project led by Dr. Fabian Baumann (principal investigator, PI), to be filled as of 1st August 2026 or by agreement. The project The Threatened Republic: Treason, Disloyalty, and the Defense of Democracy in Interwar Czechoslovakia, funded by a Starting Grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation, explores the legal and political strategies that the First Czechoslovak Republic (1918–1938) used to defend the state's integrity and ?democratic-republican" system. Team members will research several case studies of anti-state movements and of state institutions charged with the defense of the system. Among the new states established in East Central Europe after World War I, the First Czechoslovak Republic was both the most democratic and the most precarious. Numerous domestic and external enemies contested the state's borders and its democratic constitution. As Czechoslovakia's government institutions tried to safeguard their republic against extremist movements, they occasionally employed highly repressive instruments, giving rise to the accusation that the state itself was undermining democracy. As such, the First Czechoslovak Republic exemplifies the dilemmas inherent in what political scientists, following Karl Loewenstein, have called militant democracy. The project will examine the legal and political strategies used to safeguard the young democracy, with a particular focus on political trials. By examining how the state sought to protect itself while negotiating the fine line between legitimate dissent and disloyalty, the project will contribute the broader history of democracy and its discontents in a time and place characterized by extreme nationalism, authoritarian politics, and territorial revisionism.Your positionAs a doctoral researcher, you will contribute to the overall project through an autonomous case study on the history of treason, disloyalty, and the defense of democracy in the Bohemian lands (Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia). Project proposals on the history of the Sudeten German population are particularly welcome. Possible areas of research could include micro-studies of particular trials or political groups, studies of particular regions within the Bohemian lands, the history of espionage, the international and diplomatic dimensions of Sudeten German (dis)loyalty to Czechoslovakia, the relations between Sudeten German parties and other state-critical movements within Czechoslovakia.You will be expected toconduct independent archival research and complete your PhD dissertation within the funding period;publish one peer-reviewed article or book chapter and present your findings at an international conference;actively participate in advancing the project's overall research goals, participate in team meetings and the first-year reading class, and collaborate closely with your team mates;participate in the activities of the Basel Graduate School of History.You will be encouraged tocommunicate the results of your research to a broader audience (through blogs, podcasts, social media etc);help with administrative tasks, conference organization, communication tasks.Your profileYou must hold an MA degree (or equivalent) in History or a related discipline.You must be fluent in English, our team's working language, and have good working knowledge of at least one, preferably two relevant source languages (Czech, German, possibly Polish).

PhD-Position Geschichte der Tschechoslowakei in der Zwischenkriegszeit (Slowakei / Podkarpatská Rus)Am Departement Geschichte der Universität Basel ist ab dem 1. August 2026 oder nach Abmachung die Stelle eines/einer Doktorand:in in einem Projekt unter der Leitung von Dr. Fabian Baumann zu besetzen. Das Projekt The Threatened Republic: Treason, Disloyalty, and the Defense of Democracy in Interwar Czechoslovakia, finanziert durch einen Starting Grant des Schweizerischen Nationalfonds, untersucht die juristischen und politischen Strategien zum Schutz der territorialen Integrität und der ?demokratisch-republikanischen" Staatsform in der Ersten Tschechoslowakischen Republik (1918–1938). Die Mitarbeiter:innen werden mehrere Fallstudien staatsfeindlicher Bewegungen sowie der Instititutionen des Republikschutzes bearbeiten. Unter den neuen Staaten, die nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg in Ostmitteleuropa entstanden, war die Erste Tschechoslowakische Republik sowohl der demokratischste, als auch der prekärste. Zahlreiche innere und äussere Feinde lehnten sowohl die Grenzen des neuen Staats als auch seine demokratische Verfassung ab. Beim Versuch, die Republik gegen extremistische Bewegungen zu schützen, gingen die tschechoslowakischen Regierungen teils höchst repressiv vor, so dass ihnen selbst vorgeworfen wurde, die Demokratie zu untergraben. Somit verkörpert die Erste Tschechoslowakische Republik die Dilemmas einer Politik, die seit Karl Loewenstein als wehrhafte Demokratie bezeichnet wird. Das Projekt wird sich mit juristischen und politischen Strategien zum Schutz der jungen Demokratie befassen, wobei das Hauptaugenmerk auf politischen Gerichtsprozessen liegt.

With more than 70 research groups and 800 employees, the Department of Biomedicine is the largest department at the University. We are located in the heart of Basel at 6 different locations. Be part of our future! Your positionHigh-throughput drug screening has traditionally relied on 2D cell culture systems, which often fail to capture the structural and metabolic complexity of in vivo patient tumors. This project aims to overcome that limitation by extending our high-throughput metabolic fingerprinting platform into 3D cancer models such as spheroids and organoids. By combining untargeted metabolomics, high-content imaging, and computational modelling, we will systematically compare how 320 small molecules reshape metabolism in both 2D and 3D environments. The resulting dataset will reveal which drug-induced metabolic programs are shared between dimensional contexts and which emerge uniquely in physiologically relevant 3D systems. Ultimately, this work will generate a high-impact resource that improves mechanistic drug profiling and informs model selection across cancer research and drug discovery.In line with our and Uni Basel values (https://www.unibas.ch/en/Research/Values-Ethics/Diversity.html), we are committed to sustain and promote an inclusive culture, ensure equal opportunities and value diversity and respect in our working and learning environment.We are seeking a highly motivated 100% Research Intern to support the development, benchmarking, and large-scale profiling of 3D cancer models within our multidisciplinary team.
