Frederiksberg C
The Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management, University of Copenhagen invites applicants for a two-year postdoc position in cropland afforestation and development in microbial diversity and soil functions at a landscape scale.
Further information on the Department is linked at /www.science.ku.dk/english/about-the-faculty/organisation/ Inquiries about the position can be made to Professor Inger Kappel Schmidt,
[email protected]
The position is open from 15 March 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Project Description
The position is available to join the Silva Nova project - Restoring soil biology and soil functions to gain multiple benefits in new forests, funded by the Novo Nordisk Challenge Program. Planting new forests is proposed as an effective solution to mitigate the climate and biodiversity crisis. However, the agricultural legacy can constrain the development of forest-adapted species and delay environmental benefits from afforestation. Silva Nova aims to provide new perspectives into the restoration of post-agricultural forest soils to accelerate the development of new forests into a more natural state.
Job Description
This postdoc will be linked to Working Package 4 of Silva Nova, ign.ku.dk/english/silvanova/ which has the aims to 1) understand the relationships between the soil microbiome and ecosystem functioning in Danish forests 2) develop spatial prioritization analyses to aid landscape-scale afforestation strategies that optimize forest productivity and biodiversity and 3) understand the effect of agricultural legacies in the development of forest soil biodiversity and function. To tackle this, the position will assess the interplay of above and below-ground biological communities, environmental factors, and soil ecosystem functioning, based on a nationwide soil survey in Danish forests, complemented with microbial metabarcoding and measures of greenhouse gases and carbon metabolism. The postdoc is also expected to contribute with ideas and concepts to the project and lead at least two high-quality publications.
Profile
We are looking for a highly skilled, self-driven, positive, and collaborative scientist with the following competences and qualifications:
The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.
