Open positions in the ICOS field
Postdoc at INRAE, Rennes, France (fixed-term)
The French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food, and the Environment (INRAE) is offering a 1-year Post-Doctoral position in a project studying nitrogen, carbon and greenhouse gas dynamics in grazed grassland.
Your research will be carried out at the INRAE-Institut Agro UMR SAS lab in Rennes, France. Your responsibilities include scientific research and manuscript preparation. You will assist with the maintenance of eddy covariance flux stations, the field deployment of several trace gas analyzers, the sampling or measurement of ancillary soil/plant variables, the logistics of intensive measurement campaigns, the processing of eddy covariance and other micrometeorological data, while conducting original research using the collected data and publishing peer-reviewed publications.

3-year PhD position at INRAE, Rennes, France (fixed-term)
The French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food, and the Environment (INRAE) is offering a fully funded 3-year PhD position in modelling and monitoring of ammonia and greenhouse gas fluxes in grazed grasslands.
Your research will be mainly carried out at the INRAE-Institut Agro UMR SAS lab in Rennes, NW France, in close collaboration with – and with some time spent at – the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Edinburgh, Scotland, for model training and advanced simulations. The core of the work will be modelling and programming, but a significant part will be devoted to environmental data analysis and assimilation by models.
The position is available from May 2022 onwards and will remain open until filled.

Postdoc, URFM, Avignon, France (fixed-term, full-time)
Ecology of Mediterranean Forests – URFM within INRAE in France is looking for a Postdoc for conducting integrative modelling of thinning effects on tree water status in Atlas cedar plantations.
This postdoc project has two goals: 1) explain the long-term positive effect of thinning on tree water status at Valliguières, and 2) characterize the extent to which the negative effect of degrading micro-climate with thinning could become more prominent with climate warming. The work will make use of a process-based model, NOTG.
The preferred starting date is as soon as possible. The position will remain open until filled.

Postdoc/young scientist, INRAE, Paris, France (fixed-term, full-time)
The French National Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment, INRAE, is looking for a motivated postdoc / young scientist for a project focused on the adaptation of winter wheat to climate change in France via the use of climate analog methods and crop modelling.
Work will be performed in collaboration with researchers of the French agronomic institute (INRAE) in Grignon (near Paris) and Avignon (southern France), of the University of Queensland (Australia) and with scientists of the ARVALIS Plant Institute. The successful candidate will work on modelling the effects of high temperatures and atmospheric CO2 concentration effects on wheat physiology.

Postdoc/Senior Scientist in Micrometeorology/Ecosystem Fluxes, Zurich, Switzerland (fixed term, full-time)
The Grassland Sciences group within the Department of Environmental Systems Science at ETH Zurich is looking for a reliable, enthusiastic and highly motivated postdoc/senior scientist to join their team.
Your main tasks will include research on biosphere-atmosphere greenhouse gas exchange (CO2, CH4, N2O) using eddy-covariance within the Swiss FluxNet, a network of six eddy-covariance sites over grasslands, forests, and cropland. Development of an own research programme must be strongly grounded on the process- and system understanding and relate to the group's overall research strategy in this area. You will actively present results at conferences and publish them in international journals. You will assist in teaching at Bachelor's and Master's levels (in German or English) and co-supervise doctoral students.
The position is currently envisaged for three to six years. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled and the interviews will start in mid-May.
