Modern, interconnected, conscious of tradition: Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) is the old
- est and largest university in the State of Saxony-Anhalt with a history dating back more than 500 years. Today

more than 20,000 students are enrolled at the university. MLU’s core research areas are in the nanosciences

and bio-sciences, the Enlightenment, as well as in social and cultural research. The university is also home to

a range of small disciplines, some of which can be found nowhere else in Germany. The university has excel
- lent national and international ties, and works closely together with leading research institutes, industry, and

more than 250 universities around the world.

The Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, in cooperation with the DFG-funded International Research

Training Group GRK 2324 "TreeDì - Tree Diversity Interactions: The role of tree-tree interactions in local

2024, limited to 3 years:
Doctoral Researcher (M/F/d) on the project

"Spatial aboveground complementarity" (P1G-3)
as part-time employment (65%).

The salary will be up to Entgeltgruppe 13 TV-L if the personal requirements and tasks are fulfilled.

The research topic:
Tree species richness and the associated structural complexity of tree groups and forest stands are an important

mechanism for increased biomass production in mixed-species forest. Terrestrial and personal laser scanning

(TLS and PLS), which are light detection and ranging (LiDAR) systems, make it possible to acquire rapidly 3D tree

and stand structural information with a very high resolution. The aim of the project is to analyse (i) the canopy

space use of tree neighbours by using detailed crown architectural data based on TLS and PLS, (ii) the light

interception and light use efficiency of tree neighbours using PAR measurements, and (iii) how these two pro
- cesses modulate tree growth. The project is supervised by Prof. Dr. Goddert von Oheimb (Professor of Biodiver
- welt/forst/oekologie/landes?set_language=en) and PD Dr. Andreas Fichtner (Associate Professor of Ecology;
Vegetation Ecology and Biodiversity Conservation, Leuphana University of Lüneburg; andreas.ficht

The doctoral researcher will be integrated into the working group of Prof. Goddert von Oheimb.

**Tasks**:

- Task 1: to analyse canopy space use in local tree neighbourhoods using TLS/PLS
- Task 2: to analyse light interception and light use efficiency in local tree neighbourhoods
- Task 3: to quantify how this modulates tree growth

The doctoral researcher will team up with the fellow on the Chinese side, who will study in parallel spatial be
- lowground complementarity. Supervision and assistance will be provided by a Joint German-Chinese PhD Ad
- visory Committee (PAC), combining empirical and theoretical expertise. All TreeDì fellows will have to submit

their PhD thesis as a cumulative thesis, comprising at least three chapters in the form of first author papers in

international peer-reviewed journals, of which at least one paper has to be accepted or published at the time

veröffentlicht am 21.11.2023

of thesis submission. TreeDì fosters early experience in autonomous research, and thus, encourages to become

engaged in synthesis, making use of available data from previous projects. Moreover, the work will also include

scientific exchange with other working groups, participation in the TreeDì qualification programme, and

presentations at international conferences.

**Requirements**:

- A completed scientific University degree (Diploma/ M.Sc.) in a project-related field (e.g. ecology, environ
- mental sciences)
- Very good ecological knowledge and great interest with regard to forest biodiversity research
- Good quantitative and statistical skills in R are essential
- Experience in plant ecology, dendrometry and terrestrial laser scanning is advantageous
- Fluency in English (writing and speaking)
- A clear drive to do science
- Motivation to be a proactive team player in an international research consortium
- Flexibility and good organizational skills, hands-on mentality
- Applicants must be prepared to spend substantial time (approx. 2-4 months per year) in China for field
- work, lab visits and courses
- Willingness to work under subtropical field conditions; fieldwork experience would be advantageous

with equivalent qualifications. Women are particularly encouraged to apply. Applicants with a degree that was

not obtained at a German higher education institution must submit a Statement of Comparability for Foreign

Higher Education Qualifications from the Central Office for Foreign Education (Zentralstelle für ausländisches

Bildungswesen) to prove equivalence. This Statement can also be submitted after successful completion of the

hiring process.
