Tasks

We are looking for PhD student to support the DFG project MOFANE - Modelling the Impact of Crop Residue Management, Organic Fertilization and associated Application Techniques on N2O and N2 Emissions from Agricultural Soils. You will conduct incubation experiments to investigate the microscale distribution of denitrification hotspots. Using a special combination of O2 micro-sensors, 15N isotope labeling, and computed tomography, you will link the rates of relevant processes (production and emission of CO2, N2 and N2O) with their regulation by key influencing factors (soil structure, distribution of O2 and organic matter). In collaboration with the Thünen Institute of Climate-Smart Agriculture, these findings will be incorporated into models. We are seeking a lab-oriented person who is particularly interested in contributing to this field through greenhouse gas and pore structure analyses. As a research associate in the Department of Soil Science (Prof. Dr. Carsten Müller) at the Institute of Ecology at TU Berlin, we offer you a supportive scientific environment, hands-on project experience, international networking in both academia and industry, regular supervision, speciflc training in scientific skills, and our support for your long-term career development and PhD aspirations at TU Berlin.
