[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Researcher position on permafrost CH4 modeling, Max-Planck-Institute for Biogeochemistry, Jena, Germany

[Mathias Goeckede]

A full-time postdoctoral position has recently been opened at the 
Max-Planck-Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena, Germany. The announced 
position shall be filled as soon as possible, and incoming applications 
will be reviewed immediately. The position will remain open until 
filled, and new applications will be considered accordingly. Final 
application deadline is April 15, 2015.

The main focus of the work will be on the modeling of methane emissions 
from highly structured Arctic ecosystems at local to regional scales, 
using the terrestrial ecosystem model JSBACH. A particular focus will be 
placed on testing the existing representation of subgrid scale 
variability in hydrological conditions, refining it for the landscape 
scale, and evaluating its impact on the simulation of net methane 
emissions. Model performance will be tested against reference datasets 
at plot (ecosystem chamber fluxes), landscape (eddy-covariance fluxes) 
and regional scales (atmospheric inverse modeling), with the final 
product anticipated as a modeling tool to bridge these scales.

qualifications and application procedure can be found under
