Dear Colleagues,

 

I hope you do not mind the cross posting- but I would like to ask for your help in advertising the our most recent post-doc position at the Soil Biology Group, at Wageningen University. The position is focused on monitoring of soil health. It is a 4 yr post-doc position focused on developing a soil health/multifunctionality monitoring framework. The position will have 4 focus areas:

 

The portfolio for this position will be split into four key areas;

  1. Develop a flexible quantitative scientific framework to define indicators of soil health and multifunctionality (biological, chemical and physical) (Building on the work of Creamer et al., 2022 and Zwetsloot et al., 2022) across a range of scales and ecosystems.
  2. Further develop the BIOSIS method selection tool (www.biosisplatform.eu) for a range of user contexts, from applied research to support land managers to policy decision making.
  3. Create a soil monitoring benchmarking approach for application in a range of climatic regions for agricultural soils.
  4. Quantify synergies and trade-offs in multifunctionality at different scales of assessment for a range of ecosystem types. 

Existing research projects related to this position include LANDMARK (https://landmark2020.eu/), BIOSIS (https://biosisplatform.eu/)

Really hope you can pass this onto your networks and help us to find the best candidates!
