Dresden, Deutschland Technische Universität Dresden Vollzeit

TUD Dresden University of Technology, as a University of Excellence, is one of the leading and most
dynamic research institutions in the country. Founded in 1828, today it is a globally oriented,
regionally anchored top university as it focuses on the grand challenges of the 21st century. It
develops innovative solutions for the world's most pressing issues. In research and academic
programs, the university unites the natural and engineering sciences with the humanities, social
sciences and medicine. This wide range of disciplines is a special feature, facilitating interdisciplinarity
and transfer of science to society. As a modern employer, it offers attractive working conditions to all
employees in teaching, research, technology and administration. The goal is to promote and develop
their individual abilities while empowering everyone to reach their full potential. TUD embodies a
university culture that is characterized by cosmopolitanism, mutual appreciation, thriving innovation
and active participation. For TUD diversity is an essential feature and a quality criterion of an excellent
university. Accordingly, we welcome all applicants who would like to commit themselves, their
achievements and productivity to the success of the whole institution.

At the **Faculty of Environmental Sciences, Department of Forest Sciences, Institute of Soil**
**Science and Site Ecology, **the** Chair of Site Ecology and Plant Nutrition **offers a position as

**Research Associate / PhD Student** (M/F/x)***

starting **December 1, 2023**_._ The position is limited until October 31, 2027 and comprises 65% of the
fulltime weekly hours. The period of employment is governed by the Fixed Term Research Contracts
Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz - WissZeitVG). The position offers the chance to obtain further
academic qualification (usually PhD).

The position is within an interdisciplinary project funded by the Forest Climate Fund (Agency of
Renewable Resources), which aims to develop silvicultural recommendations for a transition towards
climate change adapted forests. Understanding the site-specific soil water balance in forest stands is
key for assessing forests’ vulnerability to climate change (e.g. prolonged drought periods, storm risks).
The development of forest conversion concepts and the associated promotion of climate change
- adapted mixed forest ecosystems represents a significant contribution to various aspects of
sustainable forestry and bioeconomy. This project is a joint effort of the Chair of Silviculture (TUD),
Chair of Soil Resources and Land Use (TUD), the Chair of Biodiversity and Nature Conservation (TUD),
Public Enterprise Sachsenforst and other national and international stakeholders and scientists.

**Task**: In our part of the project, an intensive soil hydrological monitoring will be carried out at several
forest research sites in the state of Saxony to measure water content and soil tension. Soil
hydrological measurements will be closely linked to the stand structure created by thinning and site
characteristics. The thinning of the existing stand should lead to an improvement of the water balance
and thus to more favorable growing conditions for the regeneration plants. Multiple soil sampling
campaigns are planned and should be carried out with respect to the analysis of soil physical and
biogeochemical characteristics. Based on the measurements, the soil water balance should be
simulated with site hydrological models with regard to stand-specific climate change adaptation
strategies. These results will be linked to the established stand structure by thinning and the success
of the regeneration plants.

**Requirements**: We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student with a university degree (master
or equivalent) in earth or natural sciences (e.g., Hydrology, Soil Sciences, Earth Sciences,
forested ecosystems. Experiences in field, laboratory and greenhouse work and a driving license are

curve, soil moisture and matric potential) and ideally forest ecological knowledge. Knowledge in
statistical data analysis and in environmental modeling, preferably soil hydrological modeling, are
essential. The position requires very good command of spoken and written English (German
desirable), excellent communication skills as well as the ability to work in a team.

**We offer**: an inspiring international and interdisciplinary atmosphere with state-of-the-art soil
hydrological measurement and analytical tools to analyze soil water dynamics from the lab to field
scale.

TUD strives to employ more women in academia and research. We therefore expressly encourage
women to apply. The University is a certified family-friendly university and offers a Dual Career
equally qualified, those with disabilities or with equivalent status pursuant to the German Social Code
IX (SGB IX) will receive priority for employment.
