Kassel, Deutschland Universität Kassel Vollzeit

At the University of Kassel, Department of Architecture - Urban Planning - Landscape Planning, Institute of Landscape Architecture & Landscape Planning - Department of Water Ecology in Landscape Planning (Prof. Dr. René Sahm), the following position is available as soon as possible:
Research Assistant (M/F/d), EG 13 TV-H, fixed-term position, part-time (currently 30 hours per week)
**Application deadline**:
31.12.2024
**Date of hire**: as soon as possible
**vacancy number**: 37962
Part-time position with 75,00 Percent of the regular working time of a full-time employee. This is a fixed term-position of three years with the possibility of extending the contract (position for academic qualification corresponding to - 72 HessHG i. V. m. - 2 Abs. 1 Satz 1 WissZeitVG; opportunity for PhD project).
The position is designed to investigate current planning-relevant topics in (running) water restoration and -maintenance at the level of biocoenoses (in particular invertebrates as indicator species) in a process-oriented manner, in order to derive possible management measures improving the ecological status of freshwater systems and thus achieve the objectives of the Water Framework Directive. In this context, inter alia reduced discharge or drying up of running waters in anthropogenically altered but also in near-natural sites (as possible reference sites for the assessment of freshwater ecosystems), as well as measures for the restoration of streams and rivers (e.g. restoration of the natural sediment structure and dynamics) are of special interest.
In the context of already existing and planned measures at water bodies, a scientific monitoring should be established. Besides changes on the level of the biocoenosis, food webs and material fluxes are of interest to be analysed by means of stable isotope analysis. Since running waters in particular are strongly coupled to their terrestrial environment by a multitude of processes, it is also important to consider biotic interactions between the water body and its floodplain in order to identify possibilities for biodiversity conservation of running water landscapes in general.
**Tasks**:

- Scientific assistance in research and teaching in the team Freshwater Ecology in Landscape Planning (uni-kassel.de/go/limnology):

- Scientific qualification (doctorate) by independent research within a sub-area in the above-described scientific topic
- Support of our research in freshwater ecology (especially in the context of the PhD topic) in the context of third-party funded projects to be applied for, as well as their scientific and administrative supervision.
- Teaching courses (3 SWS) in the Bachelor's and Master's program "Landscape Architecture and Landscape Planning" in the field of freshwater ecology, as well as on ecological basics in landscape planning.
- Writing of publications in international journals with peer-review procedures

**Requirements**:

- Completed course of academic study (Master degree, good to excellent) within the field of biology, environmental science, landscape planning/landscape ecology, or related field of study. The required degree must be available by the recruitment date at the latest
- Above average knowledge in scientific principles of general ecology, limnology, wildlife ecology, and/or conservation & species protection.
- Very good knowledge of the German language required (at least register B2 or equivalent)

**Advantages are**:

- Experience with working in aquatic environments
- Previous experience in research (e.g. conducting experiments) and teaching
- Taxonomic knowledge (with regard to freshwater systems)
- Experience with instrumental analysis
- Driver license class B
- Very good team and communication skills
- Very good knowledge of the English language

The regular office is in Kassel. In addition, the willingness to travel (also for several days) and work in the field in sometimes impassable terrain, as well as cooperation with related departments of the University of Kassel and external partners is expected.
For further information please contact Prof. Dr. René Sahm, E-Mail: rene.sahm(at)asl.uni-kassel.de.
