PostDoc in Soil Carbon Biogeochemistry
WSL - Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research
Birmensdorf, Switzerland
You will work within the SNSF-funded RootForC project, a collaborative project investigating the contribution of roots to soil organic matter in European forests under global change, linked to the CLEANFOREST COST Action. The project investigates the transfer of root-derived carbon into soils, the residence time of this carbon in soils of global change experiments and along climatic and nitrogen deposition gradients. The research will involve the use of stable isotopes, radiocarbon, and organic matter properties. These datasets will then be linked to environmental variables, in close collaboration with other scientists at WSL and other European institutions.
You hold a PhD degree in environmental sciences, soil science, microbiology or related disciplines. You should demonstrate strong communication skills, self-motivation, an aptitude for field research, data analysis, and commitment to collaborative, interdisciplinary research. Good English writing and speaking skills are required.
