Open Positions
Postdoc on partitioning forest CO2 and water vapor fluxes (80-100%, up to 3 years)
We are looking for a reliable and highly motivated postdoc to work in the Innovative technologies cross scales to disentangle carbon dioxide and evapotranspiration fluxes of forests (INETFLUX) project. The goals of INETFLUX are 1) to develop and validate new approaches to partition net ecosystem CO2 fluxes and evapotranspiration into their individual components (gross primary production (GPP) and ecosystem respiration, and transpiration and evaporation, respectively), and 2) to identify the environmental drivers that regulate these processes. Tasks of the postdoc will include development of knowledge-guided machine learning approaches to partition existing forest flux data sets across Europe, identification of flux drivers, compilation of tree dendrometer and sap flow data as additional constraints for flux partitioning, as well as co-supervision of doctoral students and more. Applicants must hold a PhD or doctoral degree in micrometeorology, greenhouse gas exchange, tree and/or ecosystem physiology. Excellent command of large data analyses as well as very good English language skills are expected.
