Postdoc Position: Securing Shifting Sands
3 maanden geleden
In this project you will work in an international team of plant geneticists, ecologists and coastal engineers, financed by the Human Frontier Science Programme. The aim of the project is to gain a genetically-informed mechanistic background of how differences in dune grass phenotype affect wind flow modulation and sediment dynamics.
**Your job**:
Your role as a dune ecologist is to build bridges between plant biology and dune morphodynamics. For this, you will conduct a global survey to map marram grass traits and collect seeds and plant leaves for further genetic analyses and experiments. You will conduct both small and large scale experiments in controlled and natural environments. Finally, you will assist in the construction of a genetically informed plant module for process based aeolian sand transport models.
**Your qualities**:
- a PhD in dune biogeomorphology;
- affinity with international fieldwork campaigns and setting up large experiments;
- prior knowledge of marram grass physiology;
- interested in interdisciplinary research in a team of plant geneticists, physiologist, ecologists and morphologists;
- a team player;
- excellent spoken and written Dutch and English skills.
**Our offer**:
We offer:
- a position for one year, with an extension to three years upon a successful assessment in the first year;
- a working week of 38 hours and a gross monthly salary between €3,226 and €5,090 in the case of full-time employment (salary scale 10 under the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities (CAO NU));
- 8% holiday pay and 8.3% year-end bonus;
- a pension scheme, partially paid parental leave and flexible terms of employment based on the CAO NU.
In addition to the terms of employment laid down in the CAO NU, Utrecht University has a number of schemes and facilities of its own for employees. This includes schemes facilitating professional development, leave schemes and schemes for sports and cultural activities, as well as discounts on software and other IT products. We also offer access to additional employee benefits through our Terms of Employment Options Model. In this way, we encourage our employees to continue to invest in their growth.
