Job description:

The announced position is to be occupied in our Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research – Atmospheric Environmental Research (IMKIFU) in Garmisch-Patenkirchen. It is embedded in the BMBF-funded collaborative project “Integrated Greenhouse Gas Monitoring for Germany (ITMS, www.itms-germany.de) ” and will be carried out in close collaboration with the Forschungszentrum Jülich and the Thünen Institute. ITMS is designed to enable Germany to operationally monitor the sources and sinks of the three most important greenhouse gases (GHG) CO2, CH₄ & N₂O via an independent integrative measurement and modeling approach. The collaboration project will support data-driven GHG monitoring and increase the transperency of climate mitigation measures.

Your tasks include:

• improve the biogeochemical model LandscapeDNDC (https://ldndc.imk-ifu.kit.edu ) and develop a module for the process-based modeling of  N₂O freeze-thaw events
• calibrate and evaluate the model based on inforamtions gained in N₂O stable isotope measurements
• compile input datasets with different spatial and temporal aggregations for two federal states
• apply LandscapeDNDC at the state and national scale
• carry out uncertainty analyses by comparing the model simulations of LandscapeDNDC when using input data in different spatial and temporal resolutions
• interpret and discuss model results in close collaborations with ITMS project partners

This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany’s largest scientific organisation.
