[ES_JOBS_NET] Postdoctoral Scientist (TV-L 13), Hohenheim's Land Atmosphere Feedback Observatory (LAFO)

[Christine Wiedinmyer]

The Biogeophysics group at the Institute of Soil Science and Land Evaluation
of Universität Ho- henheim seeks to fill the position of a

 

Postdoctoral Scientist (TV-L 13)

effective January 1, 2019 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position is
limited to a 2-year term. Continuation with a permanent contract may be
possible.

 

The position is part of Hohenheim’s Land Atmosphere Feedback Observatory
(LAFO). The goal of LAFO is (a) to determine water and energy budgets and
feedbacks in dependence on the states of soil, vegetation and atmosphere,
(b) to investigate the heterogeneity of exchange fluxes and (c) to develop
new parameterisations for the exchange fluxes considering vegetation
dynamics and the turbulent boundary structure.

 

The successful candidate will analyse, evaluate, safeguard and make
available measured data from eddy covariance stations, soil water
measurement networks, hyperspectral remote sensing and vegetation analyses
and contribute to building and maintaining the related infrastructure.

 

We expect a profound systemic understanding of land surface exchange
processes and of bio- physical processes in soils and plants, a demonstrated
ability to work in an interdisciplinary envi- ronment and the willingness to
play an active role in a team of closely collaborating researchers.

 

Expected qualifications:

*  PhD in soil physics, environmental physics or related disciplines

*  Demonstrated skills in interdisciplinary research at the
soil-plant-atmosphere interface

*  Expertise in handling large, heterogeneous data volumes

*  Expertise in crop and land surface modeling and scientific programming
(desired)

*  Experience in eddy-covariance measurement and data processing (desired)

*  Very good command of English
