PostDoc in the nowcasting of forest stress and damage 80-100% (f/m/d)

You will investigate and analyze data from tree- and soil-based sensors which provide close-to-real-time information on tree water availability, tree water deficit and growth and link this data sets together with climatic and other information (including remote sensing data) to models that allow stress nowcasting on larger special scales within the interdisciplinary SNF sinergia project UpScale.

This position requires independent and creative thinking to formulate hypotheses, familiarity with plant ecophysiology and a PhD in Biology, Ecology, Environmental or Data science or comparable fields. Proven experience in forest ecosystem modelling is necessary and experience in the use of remote sensing products is highly appreciated. You have a very good command of English, knowledge of German is an advantage.

We offer the candidate to be part of a diverse group with complimentary expertise, relevant for this project and with a strong collaborative philosophy. You will benefit from a world-leading academic environment at WSL and ETH Zürich (joint SNF sinergia project). The funding for this project is 2 years. Your working place will be at WSL in Birmensdorf (approx. 20 min outside of Zurich) and there will be strong interactions with groups at ETH Zurich.
