Jan Arie Vonk graduated in 2002 from the University of Groningen with a degree in Biology, specializing in marine biology and plant ecology. From 2003 to 2008, he worked as a PhD student at Radboud University Nijmegen, focusing on nutrient dynamics in seagrass meadows in Indonesia, where he conducted fieldwork for two years in the Spermonde Archipelago studying macrophytes and plant-animal interactions using stable isotope techniques. He successfully defended his PhD thesis in 2008. Following this, he worked as a researcher at the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), engaging in topics such as ecotoxicology, ecological risk assessment, and aquatic ecology. From 2009 to 2012, he was involved in a postdoctoral research project on ecological risk assessment in agroecosystems, focusing on nematode communities and food-web relations. He also held a joint postdoc position at RIVM and Wageningen University related to the ecology of genetically modified organisms. In 2012, he joined the University of Amsterdam as a postdoc and became an Assistant Professor in 2017, dividing his time between teaching benthic ecology and aquatic ecology and conducting research on aquatic plants and benthic communities.
