Open Positions
Doctoral student in ecosystem COS exchange
We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated doctoral student with a passion for science to join our team. The doctoral project is embedded in the Above- and below-canopy COS fluxes to constrain and partition forest CO2 and ET fluxes (ABACOS) project and will focus on COS flux measurements and how they can be used in CO2 flux partitioning. Tasks will include measurements of eddy-covariance above- and below-canopy COS, CO2, and ET fluxes at the Lägeren site, chamber measurements of branch and soil COS, CO2, and H2O fluxes, leaf-scale measurements, and statistical analyses. Eligible candidates must have a completed Master’s degree in atmospheric sciences, environmental sciences, forest sciences, ecology, or a closely related science field. Experience in micrometeorology, biogeochemistry, and/or plant ecophysiology as well as good statistical skills, experience with fieldwork, and programming experience are required.
