The Institute of Hydrobiology
The institute is the home of the Professorship Limnology (Aquatic Ecology). Teaching and Research is organized in tight co-operation with two joint professorships of the Helmholtz-Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ).
- The work group consists of the head of the institute (Prof. Dr. T.U. Berendonk), 3 faculty financed scientists, 2.5 positions for technicians and about 15 project-financed employees (PhD students, postdocs, guest scientists, technicians, students jobs).
- Our work group operates in an international environment with numerous national and international collaborations. Our research languages are Englisch and German.
- The Master of Sciences in Hydrobiology has its home in our institute, and we are participating in the bachelor and master courses of the Department of Hydrosciences (B.Sc. Hydrosciences, M.Sc. Hydrology, M.Sc. Water Management, M.Sc. Waste and Contaminated Sites Management) and the Department of Biology (Ba. Sc. and M.Sc in Biology) as well as in the international masters program Hydroscience and Engineering.
