Department of Geography_
**Researcher - Greening up UZH for climate**

**Your responsibilities**: We are looking for an enthusiastic, creative, hardworking and independent person with a strong interest in linking science with practice. The Green4Clim project aims to turn the UZH Irchel campus into a real-world laboratory to investigate how vegetation composition and distribution can help mitigate carbon impacts of campus activities. The premise is that through the management of vegetation type and placement on campus CO2 sequestration through photosynthesis and cooling through evapotranspiration can directly or indirectly mitigate the impacts of campus activities on climate.

As a researcher on this project, you will be responsible for quantifying the CO2 sources and sinks of the different types of vegetation on campus using a combination of leaf, soil, and airborne drone measurements. You will work closely with the UZH gardeners to perform experiments, where you will test which locations on campus grounds or on rooftops are most suitable to place additional vegetation that mitigates climate. The results of the project will contribute to developing a UZH management strategy to bind more CO2 and reduce temperatures on campus.

**Place of work**: Department of Geography, University of Zurich, Winterthurerstrasse 190, 8057 Zurich, Switzerland
