Jülich, Deutschland Forschungszentrum Jülich Vollzeit

Your Job:

The work will be part of the BMBF project “Rhizosphere processes and yield decline in wheat crop rotations (RhizoWheat)” in collaboration with University of Kiel, the Institute of Sugar Beet Research and the Julius-Kühn-Institut, Institute for Epidemiology and Pathogen Diagnostics. The RhizoWheat project will investigate the effect of different pre-crops in crop rotations on wheat growth and performance. Simulation modelling will be used for an in-depth mechanistic analysis of pre-crop effects and to extrapolate pivotal research findings depicted within the models for future climate scenarios. You will be responsible to extend and parameterise the functional-structural plant model CPlantBox to support crop modelling with relevant root traits and functions. Your Tasks in Detail:

Setting up the functional-structural plant model for specific soil and pre-crop situations
Parameterization of this model based on experimental data from the consortium, including root data from both greenhouse and field observations
Performing in silico experiments for different regional climate change scenarios
Postprocessing and Analysis of simulation results
Present and publish results at national and international conferences and peer reviewed journals

Your Profile:

Masters degree in bioengineering, environmental sciences or applied mathematics
Knowledge of plant and soil sciences
Mathematical modelling skills
Experience in scientific computation
Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively in an international, interdisciplinary team across institutes
Very good communication and organizational skills
