Jülich, Deutschland Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH Vollzeit

Conducting research for a changing society: This is what drives us at Forschungs­zentrum Jülich. As a member of the Helm­holtz Asso­ciation, we aim to tackle the grand societal challenges of our time and conduct research into the possi­bilities of a digitized society, a climate-friendly energy system, and a resource-efficient economy. Work together with around 7,400 employees in one of Europe's biggest research centers and help us to shape change At the Institute of Bio- and Geosciences – Agrosphere (IBG-3), we conduct research to improve our understanding of biogeochemical and hydrological processes in terrestrial systems. A combination of experiments, modeling, and innovative observation technologies is used to bridge the gap between model, process, and management scale. Its research contributes to the sustainable and resource-conserving use of soils and water and to the quantification of the effect of climate and land use change on terrestrial ecosystems.
PhD Position – Biogeochemical Soil and Rhizosphere Modeling
The work will be part of the project “Combining ROot contrasted Phenotypes for more resilient agro ecosystems” (CROP) funded within the program of the German Ministry for Education and Science (BMBF) “Plant roots and soil ecosystems: In collaboration with the university, the project aims to assess the beneficial effects of cultivar mixtures with complementary root phenotypes within an agricultural field. We evaluate the benefits of the cropping system in terms of water, carbon, and nitrogen fluxes, microbial communities, and yield. You will work in an interdisciplinary team with postdoctoral researchers from Jülich and Hohenheim.
Model conditioning with experimental data from phase I and II
Implementing and using a drought resilience and nitrogen use efficiency assessment framework with experimental data and simulation results
Independent and cooperative working in an international, interdisciplinary team across institutes
Very good command of the English language
Competent and interdisciplinary working environment, as well as an excellent framework in the areas of experiments and modeling
~ Vibrant international work environment on an attractive research campus, ideally situated between the cities of Cologne, Düsseldorf, and Aachen
~ Attendance at national and international conferences and workshops
~ Possibility for further scientific and technical training through international experts
~ Targeted services for international employees, e.g. through our International Advisory Service
~Further development of your personal strengths, e.g. through an extensive range of training courses; In addition to exciting tasks and a collaborative working atmosphere in Jülich, we have a lot more to offer: go.fzj.de/benefits.
