Postdoc Position – Integrated Assessment Modelling for Agriculture
The Institute of Crop Science and Resource Conservation (INRES) at the University of Bonn, Germany, invites applications for the following position
Researcher (Postdoc) ? Integrated assessment modelling for agriculture
The position is part of the Crop Science Group which aims to strengthen its activities on integrated assessment and modelling of plant production systems under global change. Main emphasis of this research is on the development of models for large-scale application (landscape, region and higher scales) to assess the impacts of global change (including climate, economic and market change) on food and feed production.
We seek a candidate with experience in cropping or land use systems modelling who can contribute to the development of models for integrated assessment in agriculture. The work will identify spatial heterogeneity in biophysical production conditions (and crop management activities) and develop approaches to integrate this information into large-scale models.
The candidate has completed a PhD in Agricultural Sciences, Biology, Ecology, Geo-information Science and/or Mathematics and has proven capabilities in mathematical modelling, preferably of crops and cropping systems. Knowledge of Object-Oriented Programming, Remote Sensing and GIS is an advantage. The candidate should be fluent in English and have good writing skills. For non-German speakers learning of the German language should be considered. She/he should be willing to work in a team and be prepared to travel.
