Birmensdorf, Schweiz WSL Vollzeit

Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL The Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL is part of the ETH Domain. Approximately 600 people work on the sustainable use and protection of the environment and on the handling of natural hazards. The Research Unit Forest and Soil Ecology studies the impact of environmental changes on biogeochemical cycles. Within the Long-term Forest Ecosystem Research (LWF) we offer a tenure track position as a Research Scientist in Nutrient Cycling 80% (f/m/d) You will be responsible for monitoring atmospheric deposition and soil solution chemistry across Switzerland. Your scientific responsibilities include the adequate sampling in the field and the analysis of samples in the laboratory. You will coordinate the involved technical staff, maintain the local database and forward the data to the European ICP Forests database. You will actively participate in the ICP Forests Expert Panels "Deposition" and "Soil and Soil Solution". By applying complex modelling, you will evaluate the data regarding the long-term development of nutrient fluxes and cycles. You will successfully acquire third-party funding for add-on studies, e.g. on nutrient dynamics in the rhizosphere or on gas exchange between soil and atmosphere. You hold a Ph.D. degree in environmental sciences with in-depth knowledge of soil science, biogeochemical cycles and analytical-chemical methods. You are efficient in dealing with large amounts of data and have good statistical knowledge as well as experience in modelling biogeochemical processes. Furthermore, you know how to publish your results in international journals and make them accessible to stakeholders in forestry practice, politics and the public. Your skills as a good team player are in demand both in the collaboration with the other scientific staff of the LWF and in the coordination of technical staff. In addition, you possess excellent English skills and a good command of German.
