Post-doctoral position: Modelling yields and soil carbon processes in
African croplands
We seekto fill a post-doctoral position in the Plant-Atmosphere
Interactions group at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology's Campus Alpin
(IMK-IFU) located in Garmisch-Partenkirchen
(<http://www.imk-ifu.kit.edu/institute.php>), Germany. The position
contributes to the GIZ funded project /Scaling up soil carbon
enhancement interventions for food security and climate across complex
landscapes in Kenya and Ethiopia//. /Expected starting date is February
2017.
Main tasks include
·To further develop and evaluate the dynamic global vegetation modelling
framework LPJ-GUESS, especially with respect to modelling crop-yields
and soil processes
·To explore the use of relevant input data on different spatial and
temporal resolutions and to explore possible interactions with
fine-scale models such as DNDC
·To perform model simulations and analyse outputs
·To contribute to the group's general activities (i.e. some teaching,
and project administration)
We offer
Work in a multi-disciplinary and friendly research environment, well
connected to international networks and activities.
Salary will be equivalent to the public service TV-L EG13, depending on
qualifications and experience. The appointment will be for up to 2.5 – 3
years.
Required qualifications
You will have a Ph.D. degree in a relevant discipline (e.g.,
meteorology, soil physics, environmental sciences), and strong,
demonstrable skills in computer modelling and the analysis of large
scale datasets.
The main development language is C++, while other scripting languages
are also used. You will need to have proficiency in the English
language, both spoken and in writing. Willingness to travel is essential.
Applications
Applications should be sent by email to Prof. Almut Arneth
