Young researcher position at INRA Grignon, France
A permanent position for a young researcher is opened at INRA Grignon. All details are given below.
Deadline for application is 27 Feb 2009.
Permanent position for a young researcher (Chargé de Recherche 2e classe) at INRA
Joint INRA-AgroParisTech Environment and Arable Crops research Unit, Biosphere-Atmosphere group
INRA : French Institute for Agronomical research; AgroParisTech : Paris university for environment and life sciences
Localization : west of Paris in the vicinity of Versailles; Web site of the laboratory : http://www-egc.grignon.inra.fr/
Research topic : Modelling emission and deposition of greenhouse gases to ecosystems in relation with climate and air pollution models and with particular interest towards agricultural sources and sinks
Description
Climate models allows to evaluate scenarios of changes in agriculture practices (e.g. land use change, new cropping systems, fertilisation) and to get realistic environmental impact assessment of cropping system at regional and global scales. However, these models do not adequately account for local variability linked with soil conditions, agricultural practices and spatial interactions at landscape scale (several km²). This preserves us from having a fair understanding of the fate of nitrogen an its potential impacts on ecosystems, air quality and human health.
The scientific work expected from this new research position is to account for these sources of variability in large scale models. The work will focus on integrating ecosystem-atmosphere exchanges in such models in close collaboration with climate and/or atmospheric chemistry modellers. It will improve the description of the surface variability, including human management (agriculture, forestry), and sub-grid description in large scale models. Initially, it will focus on the nitrogen cycle in managed ecosystems (crops, grasslands, forests) and on GHG and exchange of pollutants (N2O, NO, NH3). This approach will later be extended to ozone and pesticides.
Conditions
Preferably PhD followed by a postdoctoral fellowship in environmental/atmospheric physics, biogeochemical cycles, climate and atmosphere modelling. Candidates without postdoctoral experience are allowed to apply too.
