At the Faculty of Environmental Science the Chair of Forest Biometry and Systems Analysis offers, at the earliest possible date, a position as
Researcher / PostDoc (m/f/x) Ecological Modeller
Your tasks: The successful candidate is expected to work with two existing individual-based krill and salp models, which are to be further developed by introducing temperature-dependent reproduction submodels, a description of the interactions between krill and salps, and the explicit projection of primary production. The development and integration of a fisheries module is finally foreseen to derive knowledge-based methods to be tested by means of simulation experiments to support the future management of krill stocks in the Southern Ocean.
Your profile: Master’s degree in natural or environmental sciences (e.g. ecology, physics, environmental systems analysis, applied mathematics or hydrology); active experience in the development of simulation models (preferably individual or agent-based); solid knowledge in object-oriented programming (knowledge of NetLogo and Python is welcome); Fluency in English (written and spoken); German may be beneficial but not necessary; Ability to work independently and integration within a collaborative team environment in Germany and abroad (Canada and Australia). Strong motivation, willingness and curiosity to familiarize oneself with an exciting research field of the Southern Ocean.
(Subject to personal qualification, employees are remunerated according to salary group E 13 TV-L)
The position entails 100% of the fulltime weekly working hours (39 hours per week), which is limited to 3 years with reference to the Fixed Term Research Contracts Act (WissZeitVG).
The position is advertised within the framework of the PEKRIS II research project, which is being carried out in cooperation with the University of Oldenburg (responsible for the empirical part) and TU Dresden (responsible for modeling).
For further information and inquiries, please contact Prof. Dr. Uta Berger, e-mail:
uta.berger@tu-dresden.de and our homepage (http://tu-dresden.de/forst/sysan).
Applications from women are particularly invited. The University is also committed to increasing the proportion of people with disabilities and therefore urges suitably qualified people to apply.
