[ES_JOBS_NET] 2 year PostDoc agroecosystem/land surface modelling, Stuttgart, Germany

[Tobias KD Weber]

The Biogeophysics group 
of the University of 
Hohenheim is seeking for 
highly motivated
PostDoc for a VwW Invest 
BW – Innovation II 
research project. We 
offer a full-time contract
(100 %), initially for 
the duration of the 
project (24 months). The 
remuneration follows
TV-L EG 13.
In the project 
„DeepBluSky“, sbp sonne 
and the University of 
Hohenheim will develop a 
model to
comprehensively describe 
the energy balances ofa 
combined 
agri-photovoltaic system 
(APV). The
simulations will predict 
crop growth shaded by 
the photovoltaic system 
as well as the produced
electricity. A resulting 
software will enable to 
calculate the investment 
costs of APV while 
considering
the impact on crop 
productivity. In 
particular, the software 
will be developed to 
include the strong
coupling of light, 
energy and water fluxes 
within the APV. This 
project will make an 
important
contribution to the 
energy transition and to 
greater resilience of 
agriculture with regard 
to climate
change.

Your tasks:
As part of the project 
"DeepBluSky - 
Development of a 
comprehensive APV 
simulation tool for
agriculture and power 
generation", funded by 
the Baden-Württemberg 
Ministry of Economics, 
Labour
and Tourism, you will 
work in a motivated team 
together with the 
industrial partner sbp 
sonne on the
topic of the effect of 
shading by 
agri-photovoltaics on 
the energy and water 
balance of the land surface,
in particular plant 
growth and yield 
formation of field crops.
Your activities will 
include, among other 
things, t he 
scientifically sound 
development of new findings
and methods in 
theabove-mentioned 
areas, the writing of 
scientific publications, 
as well as
independently organised 
and agile project work 
in the research network.


Your profile:
•A doctorate in physics, 
meteorology, geoecology, 
environmental sciences 
or a closely related
     subject completed.
•Knowledge of the 
energy, water and 
material balance of the 
vegetated soil surface.
•Ideally with a focus on 
process modelling of 
dynamic plant growth or 
land surface modelling,
     as well as in the 
methods of model-data 
integration.
•Programming skills with 
C or a comparable 
programming language are 
a distinct advantage, as
     well as knowledge 
of scripting languages 
such as R or Python.
•Knowledge of iterative 
numerical solution of 
differential equations 
is advantageous.
•A secure knowledge of 
spoken and written 
English is required and 
a very good knowledge of
     German is an advantage.
•Relevant experience in 
publishing scientific 
papers in peer-reviewed 
journals, documented by
     at least one first 
authorship, is expected.
•Strong organisational 
and communication skills 
complete your profile.

Application deadline: 22
