THE POSITION

We are now inviting internal applications for the following position:
Postdoctoral Scientist | Research Scentist (W-0050 | all genders)
The role involves developing and applying machine learning methods to simulate hydrological and biogeochemical variables in permafrost regions in the Arctic, with the aim of closing the scaling gap between landscape and process scales. A key aspect of the role involves scientific coordination with project partners engaged in local and remote sensing observations.
The successful candidate will contribute to the project Q-ARCTIC, entitled ‘Quantify disturbance impacts on feedbacks between Arctic permafrost and global climate’ (
