**PostDoc in Urban Plant Ecophysiology (f/m/d)**:
You will be part of the Horizon Europe project FRAIMwork, which aims to improve green wall installations across Europe. Based at WSL Lausanne, your work will focus on quantifying the carbon sink strength, water-use efficiency, and air-quality impacts of green wall vegetation under contrasting environmental conditions. The objective is to understand how environmental and microclimatic factors, such as light, water availability, and temperature, affect plant functioning, and to provide stakeholders with benchmark data identifying the most resilient and high-performing plant species. Measurements and analyses will be conducted at multiple sites across the EU and integrated with soil-plant-atmosphere modeling to estimate annual carbon and water budgets.

You hold a PhD in plant physiology, urban ecology, or a related field, and possess strong quantitative and scientific writing skills. You demonstrate excellent communication abilities, self-motivation, and an aptitude for field research. A commitment to collaborative, interdisciplinary work is essential. Experience with process-based modeling is advantageous. Additionally, you have good written and spoken English skills.
