Joint Appointment by Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonnand Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH

Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, Agricultural Faculty, and For-

schungszentrum Jülich GmbH, Agrosphere Institute (ICG-4), jointly announce

the establishment of a tenured position

W2 Professorship inTerrestrial Biogeochemistry

The place of work will be the Agrosphere Institute, Forschungszentrum Jülich,

and the professorship is affilliated to the Institute of Crop Science and Resource

Conservation (INRES) of Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität, Bonn.

The new professorship will focus on biogeochemical processes of major plant

nutrients in terrestrial ecosystems with a specific emphasis on soils and related

plant stands. The research is expected to focus on the impact of recent and

expected land use change and climatic variability on biogeochemical processes

and cycles on the landscape scale. The candidate should have experience in

conducting field-scale experiments for different land-use systems and she/

he should be familiar with the use of stable isotopic methods to study biogeo-

chemical processes. It is expected that close collaborations will be established

between the main research Iines at ICG-4 (Jülich) and INRES as well as within

the groups involved in the Collaborative Research Centre SFB/TR 32.

The professorship will be involved in the BSc and MSc courses in the agricultural

sciences and/or the international programme Master of Agricultural Sciences
