The Project Area C “Adaptation and Climate” invites applications for a
PhD Position TP C 5.4 [Ref. #C15]
BAT II a / 2
The
Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre (BiK-F) has recently been
founded by the Senckenbergische Naturforschende Gesellschaft, the
Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main, and additional partners. It is funded by the Hessian State
Initiative for the Development of Scientific and Economic Excellence
(LOEWE). The mission of the Centre is to carry out internationally
outstanding research on the interactions of biodiversity and climate change at the organism level.
Within
Research Area C, the Project Group C 5.4 will investigate the
adaptation potential of single species and communities to climate
change in combination with further stressors in model ecosystems or in
multi-generation experiments. The applicant will be responsible for the
planning, conduct and analysis of long duration experiments under
varying climate conditions with a co-exposure of terrestrial
invertebrates to biotic and abiotic stressors in terrestrial model ecosystems (TME) or terrestrial micro-/mesocosms.
The applicant should hold an earned Diploma or Master degree in biology or environmental sciences with a focus on experimental terrestrial ecology or ecotoxicology. She
or he should already have experiences with terrestrial model ecosystems
(TME). Very good written and oral English language skills, fluency in
German and interest in joining a multidisciplinary research team are
required.
The BiK-F Research Centre advocates gender equality. Women are therefore strongly encouraged to apply.
Equally qualified severely handicapped applicants will be given preference.
The
contract shall start as soon as possible and will initially be
restricted for a period of 2 years with a possible extension being
subject to personal performance and availability of funds. The duty
station will be Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Official employer is
SENCKENBERGISCHE NATURFORSCHENDE GESELLSCHAFT.
Please send your application by mail or e-mail, including a detailed CV, 3 references, a list of publications, until December 31st, 2008 to
Prof.
Dr. Dr. h.c. V. Mosbrugger, Scientific Coordinator Biodiversity and
Climate Research Centre, Senckenberganlage 25, D-60325 Frankfurt am
Main, Germany. E-mail to Personal & Service: recruiting@senckenberg.de.
For enquiries about the position and the contract conditions please write to Prof. Dr. B. Stribrny (E-mail: bernhard.stribrny@senckenberg.de) and for scientific enquiries to Prof. Dr. J. Oehlmann (E-mail: oehlmann@bio.uni-frankfurt.de)

BAT II / 2
The Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre (BiK-F) has recently been founded by the
Senckenbergische Naturforschende Gesellschaft, the Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main,
and additional partners. It is funded by the Hessian State Initiative for the Development of
Scientific and Economic Excellence (LOEWE). The mission of the Centre is to carry out
internationally outstanding research on the interactions of biodiversity and climate change at
the organism level.
The applicant will be responsible for the exposure of selected indigenous and
introduced/exotic aquatic invertebrate species to a range of environmental stressor (including
toxic compounds) under varying climate conditions. These tests will be run as single species
exposures and in common garden experiments with the aim (1) of a comparative sensitivity
analysis, (2) to investigate the displacement risk for indigenous by exotic species and (3) to
identify key factors that favor the spreading of exotic species in European surface waters.
These laboratory-based findings will finally be validated under field conditions.
The applicant should hold an earned Diploma or Master degree in biology or environmental
sciences with a focus on experimental aquatic ecology or ecotoxicology. She or he should
already have experiences with the culture and testing of aquatic invertebrates. Very good
written and oral English language skills and an interest in joining a multidisciplinary research
team are required. Knowledge of German would be an advantage, and at least the
willingness to learn basic German is required.
The BiK-F Research Centre advocates gender equality. Women are therefore strongly
encouraged to apply.
Equally qualified severely handicapped applicants will be given preference.
The contract shall start as soon as possible and will initially be restricted to a period of two
years. An extension is possible being subject to personal performance and availability of

The Project Area E “Data and Modelling” invites applications for a
PhD Position “Global Climate Modelling - GCM”, PG E 5.1 [Ref. #E06]
BAT II a / 2
The
applicant is expected to have a basic expertise in global climate
modelling and modelling of boundary layer and/or cloud processes. It is
furthermore desired that the candidate has good programming skills. The
successful applicant will cooperate with various groups of biologists
and palaeontologists working on interactions between biosphere and
climate. She or he will be responsible for the implementation of a
dynamic vegetation module into a global general circulation model with
a special emphasis on coupling mechanisms between the biosphere and boundary layer processes.
In close cooperation with other partners of the research centre, the
coupled climate and biosphere model will be used to investigate the
present-day climate.
The applicant should hold an earned master
or diploma degree in meteorology, mathematics or similar. Good written
and oral English language skills and interest in joining a
multidisciplinary research team are required. Knowledge of German would
be an advantage, and at least the willingness to learn basic German is
required.
Salary and benefits are according to a public service position in Germany (BAT Ila/2).
