PhD Nature-based Services by Agriculture in Rewetted Peatlands
**Faculty/Services**:Faculty of Science**Educational level**:Master**Function type**:PhD position**Closing date**:11 December 2024**Vacancy number**:13581- Do you want to contribute to a better understanding of the opportunities of agriculture in rewettend peatlands? Then this PhD position might be for you**About the position**
- The research of this PhD is embedded in the European project Palus Demos, which focuses on the possible benefits of paludiculture (productive land use of wet and rewetted peatlands). Next to production, these benefits may include carbon sequestration and reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, (bio)degradation of chemicals and improvement of water quality, and increase of biodiversity in the paludiculture itself and the wider area.- The focus of the work will be primarily related to samples from the field site Burkmeer, which is a peat-rewetting project and demonstration site less than 12 km north of Amsterdam. The Burkmeer polder has a unique mix of landscape systems, cultural heritage, ecological value and agriculture. You will analyze the samples in the IBED labs using advanced experimental techniques including measurements for chemical water quality (LC-HRMS), carbon storage, and do field work related to GHG emission, biodiversity (e-DNA, imaging and acoustics) and plant growth.- PALUS DEMOS aim to inspire entrepreneurs in agriculture, biobased circular industry, communities, politicians, water and nature organizations by developing a range of best practices and land uses in strategic locations in three European countries. As such, in the project, other paludiculture demonstration sites in UK and Ireland are available for comparison.- You will work with a range of stakeholders to develop (socio-)economic models including government, industry, academia, and society. Therefore, your tasks will include a close collaboration with project partners from around Europe, actively contributing to the overarching project deliverables, and participation in project meetings, relevant conferences and workshops. You will have the opportunity to further develop and improve your skillset by attending courses offered by the Graduate School PE&RC. You will communicate your scientific findings through publications in peer-reviewed journals, and where applicable to involved stakeholders via other forms of dissemination. Part of your workload (10%) will consist of teaching activities at our institute, assisting staff members in their courses at the MSc level (in English) and supervising thesis research.- Do you enjoy working in an interdisciplinary research setting, and closely linked to end-users of your work? The Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED) is looking for an ambitious PhD Nature-based services by agriculture in rewetted peatlands. Your research will take place at the Department of Freshwater and Marine Ecology (FAME) within IBED.**What are you going to do?**
- In this position, you will:
- Inventorize existing and create novel data on chemical water quality (LC-HRMS), carbon storage, GHG emission, biodiversity (e-DNA, imaging and acoustics) and plant growth. This information will be related to information on water flows and human pressures;
- Design eco-hydrological scenarios for improved connectivity and dynamics across the landscape;
- Experiment with and test options related to paludiculture management to maximise ecosystem services;
- Validate preferred management from an ecological, water quality and production perspective, in terms of these benefits for the paludiculture as well as for the surrounding ecosystem.
- Together with stakeholders, you will reflect on context-specific requirements for a fruitful implementation of the developed approach. You will work within an interdisciplinary and international cohort of young researchers.- You will combine field, laboratory and modelling work, and communicate your results via conference presentations and publications in peer-reviewed journals. You will write a high-quality PhD thesis, showing your capabilities as independent researcher, while closely working with the program team. Furthermore, we expect you to be an active member of our research group and to take part in teaching efforts, including assisting in practical courses and supervision of bachelor and master students.**Your experience and profile**
- A successfully completed MSc degree in biology, environmental or earth sciences, with a preferably a focus on aquatic ecology/chemistry;
- You can show relevant scientific and technical skills, have preferable experience with practical field and laboratory work and with modelling;
- Good analytical and statistical skills, including the use of programming languages;
- You have excellent English language and communication skills;
- You are motivated to pursue a PhD, are independent and have the ability to collaborate and to engage in a multidiscip
