Scope of workfull-time position suitable for part-time**Responsibilities**:
Duties include academic services in the project named above. Research associates may also pursue independent research and further academic qualifications.

Specific Duties

The research associate will study the influence of dynamic hydrological conditions on carbon fluxes of heterogenous upland tundra landscapes of Greenland. The research should cover hydrology effects on both vertical land-atmosphere fluxes of greenhouse gases and lateral waterborne carbon and nutrient fluxes. The study will combine field monitoring of soil hydrology and oxygen availability, dissolved carbon and nutrient contents in discharge waters and land-atmosphere fluxes of greenhouse gases with catchment-scale hydrological modelling. Land-atmosphere gas fluxes will be investigated with closed chamber methodology. The most suitable hydrological modelling strategy wil be determined together with the selected postdoctoral scientist.

**Requirements**:
A university degree in a relevant field, plus doctorate.

We seek enthusiastic applicants with a PhD in soil science, ecohydrology, geoecology, geoscience, biogeochemistry or a closely related field and expertise in:

- catchment-scale hydrological modelling
- field measurements of soil and catchment hydrology
- chemical analysis of soils and water properties
- chamber measurements of greenhouse gas fluxes
- hydrology and biogeochemistry of high-latitude landscapes
- organization and participation in Arctic land expeditions

The research associate will organize and participate in land expeditions to the Arctic lasting several weeks together with partners from CLICCS and further research projects.

Applicants must have very good English skills in speaking and writing. The evaluation of the applicants will be based on their proven expertise and experience in the relevant fields of expertise and their publication record. Participation in expeditions to the Arctic and in field work is required.

We offer
- Reliable remuneration based on wage agreements
- Continuing education opportunities
- University pensions
- Attractive location
- Flexible working hours
- Work-life balance opportunities
- Public transport pass (ProfiTicket) and much more
- Health management
- Educational leave
- 30 days of vacation per annum
