Ph.D. Positions (TU Munich)
Investigation of Trace Gas and Energy Exchange in Windfall Areas of Spruce Forests in Bavarian National Parks, Germany.
User Review
( votes)Two Ph.D. student positions are available at the Chair for Atmospheric Environmental Research, Technical University of Munich (TUM, Germany), in co-operation with the Institute for Meteorology and Climate Research, Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (FZK/IMK-IFU, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany). The positions are available as of April 2008.
The project is part of a cross-disciplinary collaboration to study the role of biogenic VOCs in the colonization and communication of bark beetles, and the ecosystem-atmosphere exchange of VOCs, carbon, water and energy in areas of extensive wind-damage in the National Parks ?Bavarian Forest? and ?Berchtesgaden? in Bavaria, Germany. The successful candidates will conduct Ph.D. thesis research and contribute to work including
? Construction and operation of micrometeorological trace-gas and energy flux measurement sites, and VOC sampling stations in windfall areas in rugged mountainous terrain.
? Establishment and analysis of biogenic VOC source/receptor relationships.
? Development and application of VOC emission and dispersion models at high temporal and spatial resolution.
? Measurement and modelling of ecosystem carbon exchange following a major disturbance (with all biomass debris left intact on the ground).
Methods: mobile and stationary micrometeorological systems, gas sampling on adsorbent tubes, thermo-desorption-GC/FID/MS analysis, eddy covariance techniques, footprint analysis, dispersion modelling.
The successful candidates must have a university Master of Science degree (or equivalent) with documented expertise in at least one of the following fields: ecological chemistry, eco-physiology, micrometeorology, biogeochemistry. The project work involves extensive field- and team-work in remote, rugged terrain and requires outstanding technical, analytical and social skills. TUM is an equal opportunity employer.
