Environmental/soil Modeler Postdoc
vor 5 Monaten
**The job**: The Working Group Soil Modeling in the Department Soil System Science is looking for a soil modeller, starting on the 1st of October limited to 4 years, within the EU HORIZON2020 project “DeepHorizon”. DeepHorizon is gathering 18 partners to improve our understanding and management of subsoil properties, functions and ecosystem services. DeepHorizon aims to unlock knowledge of the subsoil in the critical zone by bringing together key experts and practitioners.
- This will enable the deployment of ecosystemic solutions to improve subsoil functions for soil health. The goal of DeepHorizon is to develop tools that enable practitioners, land managers, and policymakers to access subsoil properties, functions, subsoil health indicators, and financial decision support tools to promote sustainable subsoil management. DeepHorizon will collect and use existing data on subsoils and generate new data through a multi-actor approach from farmers to policymakers. The DeepHorizon project aims to improve subsoil functions across Europe through four main strategies: (1) identifying and mapping subsoil properties and functions; (2) developing innovative tools and technologies to monitor and manage subsoil health; (3) establishing subsoil health indicators; and (4) involving practitioners and stakeholders to co-create, test and deploy solutions.
- The announced position will contribute to the work package on “Modelling subsoil contribution to the overall soil functions”**Place of work**: Halle (Saale), mobiles Arbeiten möglich
- **Working time**: 100 % (39 h / Woche)
- The job position is available for full-time or part-time employment.
**Contract limitations**: limited contract / 30.09.2028 (limited to 4 years)

The announced position will contribute to the work package on “Modelling subsoil contribution to the overall soil functions”
**Your tasks**:
- You will develop process-based approaches for modelling the turnover and stabilization of organic matter and subsoil structure dynamics
- You will integrate subsoil processes in the existing process-based model BODIUM and assess the subsoil contribution to soil health in agricultural systems
- You will collaborate with other work packages providing data to validate your model approach
- You will identify key soil properties that indicate subsoil quality and the identification of indicators
- You will quantify the potential of the subsoil and the vulnerability of pedo-climatic soil types at the EU level on the basis of model scenarios
**We offer**:
- The chance to work in interdisciplinary, international teams and benefit from a variety of perspectives
- Firstclass integration into national and international research networks to work together on global challenges
- Excellent research infrastructu
