København K
The Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management invites applicants for a PhD fellowship to study the biogeochemistry and greenhouse gas balance of cultivated wetlands. The PhD project is part of the Global Wetland Center, funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. Start date for this 3-year PhD fellowship is 1 January 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The Global Wetland Center will contribute to the development of wetland-based climate change mitigation strategies through a combination of biogeochemical and hydrological modelling, satellite remote sensing and use of Artificial Intelligence techniques. The Center is a collaboration between two departments from the University of Copenhagen (Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management and Department of Computer Sciences), DHI A/S, and GEUS (The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland), and is funded for a six-year period (2024-2029).
To start the Center’s activities, we are looking for a PhD student to work on field measurements of greenhouse gas emissions from cultivated wetlands. The candidate will work in an inspiring team bringing together modelling, in situ measurements and Earth observation of wetland biogeochemistry and hydrology.
Specifically, the PhD project aims to quantify the element cycling of carbon and nitrogen in farmed wetlands in Vietnam. The work includes field experiments (with dynamic flux chambers and subsurface oxygen measurements) along spatial gradients and laboratory work aiming at optimizing C storage, reducing CH4 and N2O emissions and securing future food production. In addition, analyses based on other (farmed or natural) wetlands are envisaged.
Qualifications
Applicants should hold a MSc degree in geography, environmental sciences, ecology, or related disciplines. We are seeking a highly motivated and ambitious individual with good interpersonal and communication skills. Fluency in spoken and written English is a requirement. Relevant experiences in field-based research and analysis of large data sets are considered beneficial.
To be eligible for the regular PhD programme, you must have completed a degree programme, equivalent to a Danish master’s degree (180 ECTS/3 FTE BSc + 120 ECTS/2 FTE MSc) related to the subject area of the project, e.g. [relevant educations]. For information of eligibility of completed programmes, see General assessments for specific countries and Assessment database.
We offer a stimulating working environment in a center that will grow in the coming years to approximately 30 researchers; an international team of experts in ecosystem science and modelling, remote sensing and Artificial Intelligence. The PhD position is hosted in the section for Geography, Øster Voldgade 10 in Copenhagen.
Principle supervisor for the PhD student is Professor Bo Elberling, Dept of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management ([email protected]).
Terms of employment
Employment as PhD fellow is full time and for maximum 3 years.
Employment is conditional upon your successful enrolment as a PhD student at the PhD School at the Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen. This requires submission and acceptance of an application for the specific project formulated by the applicant.
