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.

The MoLiCarb project aims to assess the role of vegetation, in particular mosses and lichens, for carbon content of permafrost soils at high latitudes and associated climate impacts. Effects of mosses and lichens on the soil carbon balance and their consequences for climate are currently poorly represented in Earth System Models (ESMs), although they maybe highly relevant, particularly at high latitudes (carbon input, soil cooling). Permafrost soil carbon in these regions is of great importance for future climate, since thawing of the soil will likely lead to strong emissions of CO2 and a positive feedback on global warming. More advanced models of moss and lichen effects on high-latitude ecosystem carbon fluxes that can inform ESMs are therefore urgently needed. While observational data for current climatic conditions are usually not sufficient to constrain model projections on coupled vegetation-soil carbon dynamics at high-latitudes for the next decades, sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) may help to quantify the long-term relationships between vegetation, climate, and soil carbon and thus reduce this uncertainty substantially.

In MoLiCarb, we will address the following questions: 1) How strong is the effect of mosses and lichens on today’s dynamics of soil carbon in permafrost regions? 2) To what extent did mosses and lichens contribute to build-up of soil carbon since the last glacial maximum? 3) How will mosses and lichens affect permafrost carbon release in the next decades?

The work will be conducted in close collaboration with the partner institution Alfred Wegener Institute at the Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research in Potsdam, Germany.

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