The Institute of Bio

**Your Job**:
This PhD project will be part of the Green ERA-Hub project AGROSOIL-Agrogeophysics for Sustainable Soil Management under climate extremes. With project partners in Ireland and Uruguay the project aims to examine the effects of various agricultural practices, like fertilizer use and irrigation, on cereal crops, focusing on subsoil's role in water and nutrient availability and crop resilience, especially under extreme weather conditions. High-resolution subsoil characterization using electromagnetic induction (EMI), electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), and ground penetrating radar (GPR) will be combined with soil sensors systems and UAVs with multispectral cameras.

Your tasks in detail:

- Find links between non-invasive geophysical monitoring and the availability of Nitrate and water in the soil
- Improve the small-scale process understanding controlling soil-plant interactions and to extend the gained understanding to the large scale to be used in precision agricultural management
- Connect novel processing and inversion techniques to experimental data from different regions and link the findings to relevant processes of the soil-plant system
- International travel to Uruguay & Ireland to perform combined field trails

**Your Profile**:

- Master’s degree in geophysics, physics, geoscience, computational geoscience, or related natural sciences with an overall grade of at least good
- Experience in programming (e.g., matlab, phyton, C/C++) and parallel computing
- Advanced knowledge of numerical methods
- Geophysical fieldwork experience, preferably with GPR, EMI and ERT
- Strong English writing skills
- Since the work involves interdisciplinary cooperation with several researchers and technicians, good communication and organizational skills are essential
- Drivers licence is required (or should be done within first 3 months)
Physical geophysical field work is required

**Our Offer**:
We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change We offer ideal conditions for you to complete your doctoral degree:

- Working in an interdisciplinary environment as well as excellent facilities for hydrogeophysical research and numerical simulation and inversion studies
- Opportunities to being part of the national and international scientific community
- PhD students are encouraged to attend international conferences and a three months research stay abroad with a cooperating partner is possible planned
- Workshop and field work in Ireland and Uruguay
- Working in the heart of Europe
- A highly motivated working group as well as an international and interdisciplinary working environment at one of Europe’s largest research institutions
- Outstanding scientific and technical infrastructure
- Continuous mentoring from your scientific supervisor
- Dynamic, inclusive and diverse working group and work environment
- 30 days of annual leave (depending on agreed working time arrangements) and provision for days off between public holidays and weekends (e.g. between Christmas and New Year)

Targeted services for international employees, e.g. through our International Advisory Service
