3 Postdoc Positions for Ecological Statistics and Modeling
Dear ecologists, please note the job offers below, especially the three postdoc positions in ecological statistics resp. ecological modeling. We are seeking for excellent candidates. Thomas Petzoldt NITROLIMIT: Nitrogen limitation in freshwaters ? Is nitrogen reduction ecologically meaningful and economically feasible? Aims and scope: The impact of nitrogen on the regulation of phytoplankton growth and biomass will be studied in comparison to other relevant environmental variables to analyze whether nitrogen reduction is a meaningful measure to improve the ecological state of lakes and rivers. Nitrogen input into lakes and rivers, internal turnover rates and retention will be quantified. Results on nitrogen input and retention as well as its ecological effectiveness will be used to improve ecosystem and catchment area models for the simulation of different scenarios of lake and river development. Costs and benefits of nitrogen reduction will be analyzed and recommendations for sustainable management of lakes and rivers will be compiled.
