We seek candidates with a background in mathematical or dynamic,
process-based computer
simulation modelling preferably in the fields of ecology or/and
hydrology. The candidate will
continue the development of a novel eco-hydrological modelling
approach and investigate (i)
vegetation – hydrology feedbacks at the landscape level in dryland
systems, and (ii) conduct
landscape vulnerability analyses with regard to extreme climatic events.
The position is part of a multidisciplinary and international research
project dealing with the
impact of global change on water resources in the Jordan River Basin
(see www.glowajordan-
river.de). The project involves scientists from many disciplines from
Germany, Israel,
Jordan, and the Palestinian Autonomy.
Place of work will be Potsdam, which is well connected to Berlin (40
km). Our lab provides a
beautiful location in the royal Sans Souci park and an interesting
research team consisting of
a mix of modellers and emipirical researchers. The position can be
filled starting November
2009.
Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. They
should be sent in English or
German in pdf format via email to the address below and should include
a statement of
interest, CV, and names and addresses of one or two references.
