We are seeking a motivated postdoc researcher with expertise in plant functional ecology and ecosystem ecology to support and expand research on biogeochemical cycles within our project team. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in advancing the understanding of plant trait coordination and growth in response to elevated CO2 within the AmazonFACE program. The appointee will drive the investigation of key aspects in plant wood and phloem traits and their coordination with hydraulic and whole-plant traits (e.g. tree height and crown dimensions from TLS data), to understand growth patterns and responses to eCO2. This role will significantly advance the holistic understanding of plant ecological strategies and forest growth responses in a changing world.
We are seeking a motivated postdoc researcher with expertise in ecosystem and soil ecology to support and expand research on topics around biogeochemical cycles within our project team. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in advancing the understanding of plant and soil microbial carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycling in response to elevated CO2. The appointee will drive the investigation of key aspects in soil and rhizosphere nutrient cycling feedbacks pivotal for the forest’s response to elevated CO2, with the ultimate goal of advancing the holistic understanding of this ecosystem’s responses in a future world.
We are seeking a motivated postdoc researcher with expertise in the modelling of tropical forest vegetation to support and expand research on biogeochemical cycles within our project team. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in advancing the understanding of plant, soil and water interactions in response to elevated CO2 within the AmazonFACE program. The appointee will lead a specific intercomparison of different vegetation models to generate hypotheses to be tested in the AmazonFACE field experiment regarding the effect of elevated CO2 concentrations on plant water use and resistance to drought.
We are seeking a dynamic, highly motivated and reliable postdoctoral researcher with experience in photosynthesis and tree ecophysiology to conduct cutting-edge, innovative research on Functional Ecology, Ecosystem Processes, and Carbon Cycle in the Amazon forest.
The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in advancing the understanding of primary productivity responses to elevated CO2 (eCO2). The appointee will drive the investigation of key aspects in plant ecophysiology that will potentially explain the mechanisms behind the acclimation of individual trees to eCO2, and its implications to community assemblage in future scenarios, with the aim to advance our understanding of ecosystem’s responses to global changes.
