The position will be associated with the projects: “Carbon Loss In Plants, Soils and Oceans” (CALIPSO) and “Soil microbial responses to land use and climatic changes in the light of evolution” (SMILE). Both projects investigate how soil processes and biota drive the cycles of carbon and nutrients, aiming to develop and test models based on optimality theories. Collaborations with several partners across Europe and US are envisioned, providing a unique opportunity for networking.

The appointed postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for:
- Developing new process-based models that describe the function of soil biota
- Attending project meetings, writing result reports, and participating to activities in the projects beyond modelling (data analyses, conceptual developments etc.)
