- Ecohydrologist in tracer-aided, ecohydrological modeling (m/f/d)
- Postdoctoral Researcher in enhanced modeling of coupled ecosystem feedbacks in peatlands (m/f/d)
The research group “Landscape Ecohydrology”, led by Prof Doerthe Tetzlaff, in the Department of Ecohydrology & Biogeochemistry of IGB (Leibniz Institute for Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries) in Berlin is inviting applications for two Postdoctoral Researcher Positions (each 24 months, with the possibility of extension, fulltime with less % possible) starting from 1.4.2025. The project is part of a major project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) “WETSCAPES2.0: Sinks, links and legacies of novel ecosystems in rewetted fen landscapes”. WETSCAPES2.0 combines expertise from University of Greifswald, University of Rostock, the IGB Berlin, GFZ Potsdam, LUM München, the MPI for Biogeochemistry Jena and the Humboldt-University Berlin. Focus of WETSCAPES2.0 is the functional understanding of rewetted fens, including coastal peatlands. For more details about the overarching research questions, specific topics, training program and contact persons please visit http://www.uni-greifswald.de/wetscapes2.
Position ONE aims to advance and test the capacity of process-based, tracer-aided, ecohydrological modeling frameworks and investigate the hydrological functioning of rewetted fens from the plot scale up to the landscape scale in terms of spatial patterns and temporal dynamics of water storage, pathways and release. For this, we will integrate tracer approaches of stable water isotopes (deuterium, oxygen) and water chemistry linked within advanced tracer-aided models. Please check the specific roles and profile requirements here:
Position II aims to quantify physical and biogeochemical process-interactions and feedbacks between peatlands, their landscapes and beyond and to identify challenges and uncertainties in quantifying these feedbacks at larger and across scales via multiple, integrated approaches. This project is a close collaboration between IGB, University of Greifswald and LMU Muenich. We seek a dynamic, motivated and ambitious young scientist to join existing interdisciplinary science and modelling teams at IGB to support use of tracer-aided ecohydrological modelling in peatlands linking this to land surface models. Research visits to LUM Muenich and University Greifswald are supported. Please check the specific roles and profile requirements here:
Are you interested?
We look forward to receiving your application with the usual documents (cover letter, CV incl. list of publications, at least 2 reference letters or contact details for 2 referees) by 17.1.2025. Please state the job reference number {filled out by the HR office} and apply exclusively via our recruitment platform at https://www.igb-berlin.de/en/jobs.
Questions can be directed to Professor Dörthe Tetzlaff by e-mail (doerthe.tetzlaff@igb-berlin.de).
Our offer
Salary is paid according to the German salary scheme for the public sector (TVöD Bund). Depending on the personal qualifications and the tasks assigned, the position will be paid up to E13. It is a full-time position with 39 working hours per week (less % possible). The positions are available from 01.04.2025 for 24 months, with the possibility of extension.
