**The Faculty of Science and Institute of Environmental Sciences are looking for**:
**A PhD student on nature-based solutions in urban waterbodies (0.8-1.0 fte)**
**Vacancy number: 15375**
Urban waterbodies - ranging from ornamental ponds to shipping canals - are integral and often iconic features in cityscapes and provide vital ecosystem services including biodiversity support, cooling, water storage, and recreation. At the same time, these urban waterbodies are heavily under pressure from human-caused stresses such as pollution, flow modification, invasive species, and climate change. As a result, many urban waterbodies are in poor ecological state, characterized by degraded biodiversity and frequent blooms of harmful cyanobacteria. Such poor ecosystem health not only diminishes ecosystem functionality but also may pose risks to human health.
Despite decades of restoration efforts to reinstate healthy and resilient urban waterbodies, challenges related to water quality and biodiversity persist. In recent years, innovative nature-based solutions have been introduced to provide a potential pathway towards enhancing biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Examples include increasing shoreline and underwater habitat complexity or reducing nutrient levels. These interventions, however, are often launched as local pilot projects, and the subsequent monitoring of the effects and efficacy of these interventions remains scarce.
**Your role**:
This PhD project aims to advance our understanding of the impact of nature-based solutions on urban waterbody ecology, health, and resilience. Key objectives include a) mapping the types of nature-based solutions implemented in urban aquatic systems and evaluating how well their efficacy in increasing biodiversity and restoring ecosystem functions is monitored; and b) assessing or co-designing case studies that measure success based on both ecological and societal parameters. Addressing these objectives may involve field monitoring, stakeholder surveys, citizen science initiatives, mathematical modeling, or experimental fieldwork in urban settings or at Leiden University’s Living Labs. The exact approach will be co-created between the PhD student, other researchers and potentially also stakeholders.
**Selection criteria**
- A good understanding of (aquatic) ecology in urban settings at the cross-section of socio-ecological interactions and global change.
- A collaborative mindset, good communication skills, and an affinity with co-creating and co-producing research with diverse societal actors.
- A strong background and interest in statistical analyses, data management, visualization and coding skills (e.g. in R) is essential.
- Prior experience in (aquatic) fieldwork and laboratory skills is highly valued.
- Strong written and spoken English skills are required. Proficiency in Dutch or a willingness to learn the language within the first two years is expected.
**Research at the Faculty of Science**
The Institute of Environmental Sciences (CML) is positioned in the Faculty of Science, a world-class faculty where staff and students work together in a dynamic international environment. The Faculty highly values personal and academic development. Our people are committed to expand fundamental knowledge by curiosity and to look beyond the borders of their own discipline; their aim is to benefit science, and to make a contribution to addressing the major societal challenges of the future.
**Institute of Environmental Sciences, Department of Environmental Biology**
