Postdoc (TVL13, 100%, 3 years; d/f/m)

23.04.2024, Wissenschaftliches Personal

We are offering one postdoc position to a highly motivated researcher with a background in geography and urban ecology with experience in modeling, GIS and data synthesis. Their work will determine how urban features drive species diversity, how species diversity and urban features are represented in soundscapes and how these relate to human health and wellbeing. They will use modeling approaches to combine natural and social science data. You will focus on developing and implementing mixed modeling approaches to test pathways through which structure–biodiversity relationships are linked to acoustic comfort–restoration outcomes. The models will integrate spatially-explicit structural complexity variables, landscape imperviousness variables, biodiversity (songbird) variables, and human restoration variables. We aim to produce maps of model predictions based on biodiversity indices, restoration variables in relation to urban green and built infrastructure.

Job requirements:
• PhD diploma in related field
• Excellent skills in statistical analysis
• Very good knowledge of English; spoken German is a benefit
• Excellent scientific and writing skills
Who we are:
You will be based in the Professorship for Urban Productive Ecosystems (PI: Monika Egerer)
at the Technical University of Munich. However, you will work closely with three other research
groups at the Technical University of Munich: Professorship for Forest and Agroforestry
Systems (Peter Annighöfer); Chair for Terrestrial Ecology (Sebastian Meyer, Wolfgang
Weisser); Chair for Strategic Landscape Planning and Management (Stephan Pauleit)
What we offer:
• An innovative and lively working environment at the university and campus
• Access to modern facilities and infrastructure at a strong research department
• Scientific exchange, flexibility, independence and self-responsibility
• Extensive options of vocational training (meetings, workshops, conferences)
• TV-L E13 (100%), 3 years
Starting date:
As soon as possible, ideally June 2024.
