Our group develops and applies the latest generation of land-use emission, vegetation and Earth system models and integrates them with observational data. Key research questions are the fate of ecosystems under the pressures of land-use and climate change, Earth system feedbacks via energy, water and biogeochemical cycles, and the role of vegetation and soils for greenhouse gas emissions reduction and CO<sub>2</sub> removals in support of the Paris Agreement. The team is strongly involved in large national and international collaborations such as the Global Carbon Project, CMIP, IPCC, CDRterra, Horizon Europe projects and the national Earth System Modeling Strategy (natESM) </span><u style="font-family: Calibri; letter-spacing: 0.8px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 255); color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">[1]</u><span style="font-family: Calibri; letter-spacing: 0pt;">.</span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; line-height: 12pt; letter-spacing: 0.6pt;"><span lang="DE"><font face="Calibri" size="1"><font color="#0000ff"><u>[1] </u></font><a href="https://www.globalcarbonproject.org/" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">https://www.globalcarbonproject.org/</a> - <a href="https://www.wcrp-climate.org/wgcm-cmip" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">https://www.wcrp-climate.org/wgcm-cmip</a> - <a href="https://www.ipcc.ch/assessment-report/ar6/" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">https://www.ipcc.ch/assessment-report/ar6/</a> - <a href="https://cdrterra.de/en" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">https://cdrterra.de/en</a> - <a href="https://www.nat-esm.de/" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">https://www.nat-esm.de/</a><o:p></o:p></font></span></div><div><span lang="DE"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><br></font></span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt -3.6pt 6pt 0cm; line-height: normal; letter-spacing: 0.6pt;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0pt;"><font size="2" face="Calibri">We have several positions available:</font></span></p><div style="margin: 0cm -3.6pt 0cm 0cm; line-height: normal; letter-spacing: 0.6pt; text-align: center;"><font face="Calibri" size="4"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="letter-spacing: 0pt;">Scientific researcher (m/f/x) for ecosystem-climate interactions </span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="letter-spacing: 0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></font></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt -3.6pt 6pt 0cm; line-height: normal; letter-spacing: 0.6pt;"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span lang="EN-US" style="letter-spacing: 0pt;">YOUR TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES:</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><div style="margin: 0cm -3.6pt 0cm 0cm; line-height: normal; letter-spacing: 0.6pt;"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span lang="EN-US" style="letter-spacing: 0pt;">The scientific researcher is expected to conduct innovative research.

But a key driver – the vast usage of land through agriculture, forestry and urbanization – is still lacking substantial detail in these models. This impairs our fundamental understanding of the interactions of humans, land, and climate, and is also critical as models are increasingly guiding political decision-making on land-use and climate to limit global warming. You can contribute to building the next generation of climate models, working at the intersection of numerical modeling, high-performance computing, and large-scale data analysis. You will contribute to strategic decision-making as well as to concrete design and implementation of land-use processes in our models. You will work closely with the other researchers in our group, and with external partners, e.g., in natESM, to align the group’s developments with the national and international modeling landscape. While the focus will adjust over the years with the development of the research field and success in related research proposals by our working group, it currently lies on the Earth system model ICON-ESM and its land component JSBACH4 as well as the land-use emission model BLUE, which integrates a range of Earth observational data.<o:p></o:p></font></span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt -3.7pt 0.0001pt 0cm;
