Note that there is a very short turnaround for this program: most universities are asking for applications or expressions of interest to be submitted by mid to late January (i.e. the next couple of weeks). Applicants must be international researchers working and residing outside of Canada; this includes expatriates wishing to return to Canada. One of the eight key strategic priority areas is environment, climate resilience, and the Arctic; therefore, we?re collectively sending this announcement to potential interested colleagues. CIRC holders will receive one of two award values: * $8 million over eight years ($1 million per year); or * $4 million over eight years ($500,000 per year) depending on research costs/needs. There is also the potential for a four-year extension at a rate of 50% of the initial award value. There are two application rounds in March and June. However, interested candidates must first apply to universities who will then submit the application to the CIRC program. Different universities have different instructions (see the bottom of this email for instructions we have), but most universities are asking for applications or expressions of interest to be submitted by mid to late January.

The position is mainly funded by the Czech Science Foundation (GACR, https://gacr.cz/en/) through a Restart Grant with a duration of four years. The project aims to identify the patterns and drivers of drought impacts on carbon-water cycling in European forests, focusing on water-use efficiency (WUE) across various tree species and environmental conditions. Climate change and extreme events affect WUE by altering biophysical processes, potentially compromising the future carbon sequestration capacity of forest ecosystems. While process-based ecosystem models are essential tools for estimating carbon-water cycling, their ability to simulate drought effects is limited. Using multi-year flux data from eddy covariance sites, this project will: (i) identify patterns and drivers, like drought timing and severity, that affect WUE dynamics, (ii) evaluate the Biome-BGCMuSo (https://nimbus.elte.hu/bbgc/) model's simulation of carbon and water fluxes, and (iii) improve model accuracy for drought effects on WUE. The proposal also aims to project WUE dynamics under climate change scenarios and attribute changes to climatic drivers. The findings will contribute to the development of more accurate models to project forest carbon sequestration under climate change. ________________________________ Research Objectives for the PhD The Ph.D. candidate will learn how to operate the process-based biochemical model Biome-BGCMuSo and get involved in the European forest modeling community. The objective of the study is to explore and quantify how historical and future drought events alter ecosystem-level water-use efficiency (WUE) using eddy covariance observations and the process-based model at different European forest sites. The candidate will be involved in the CROSS-CASCADE COST Action (CA24163, https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA24163/), co-chaired by the supervisor, which provides extensive networking opportunities, short-term research stays and supports future career development. The modeling expertise acquired during the position will be applicable to a wide range of other process-based modeling frameworks in the future. Core responsibilities * Assess the model?s behavior under drought conditions, quantify major sources of uncertainty, and contribute to develop targeted model refinements. * Uncover new insights into how water-use efficiency responds to environmental change and climatic stressors * Identify key drivers shaping future water-use efficiency (WUE), including the effects of drought timing, severity, and compound events * Contribute to scientific publications and international collaborations ________________________________ Supervision and Research Environment The PhD will be supervised by Laura Dobor, Ph.D., an expert in ecosystem modelling and climate change impacts, PI of the abovementioned GACR project. She has been working with process-based ecosystem models for more than 10 years, including the individual-based forest model iLand and Biome-BGCMuSo model. She was involved in several COST Actions supporting networking and knowledge sharing across Europe including the organization of interdisciplinary summer schools. The candidate will join a dynamic international research group with active collaborations across Europe, including ETH Z?rich, PIK Potsdam, Technical University of Munich, E?tv?s Lor?nd University, Budapest (BBGCMuSo development team), Croatian Forest Research Institute, ICOS (https://www.icos-cp.eu) and FLUXNET (https://fluxnet.org/) communities, partners from COST Actions PROCLIAS (https://proclias.eu/), CROSS-CASCADE (https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA24163/) and the ISIMIP community (https://www.isimip.org/).
