We are united in our mission to understand, explain, and improve our world and people's living conditions.
Research and education at the Department of Environmental and Geological Sciences (MGeo) address fundamental and applied questions about the Earth's past, present, and future climate and environment, including human interaction with nature and consequences for human well-being. MGeo develops and applies innovative methods, models, and techniques in environmental science, quaternary and bedrock geology, paleontology, physical geography, biodiversity and ecosystem science, remote sensing, geographic information science (GIS), and computational science for environment and health to study processes ranging from the microscopic to the planetary scale, across all time scales.
Duties
Work will be performed at the Hyltemossa Research Station outside Perstorp and at Geocentrum II in Lund. The main work will be connected to the continuous monitoring programs at the Hyltemossa station. This primarily includes surrounding measurements within ICOS (Integrated Carbon Observation System). To ensure comparability between measurements, it will also include measurements and assistance for research projects based at Hyltemossa. Field work will include vegetation/soil sampling, forest inventories, installation and maintenance of equipment. The laboratory component consists of sorting litter from Hyltemossa spruce forest into different fractions as well as processing vegetation and soil samples.
Qualifications
Successfully completed or ongoing studies at the bachelor's or master's level in geoscience or similar.
Previous field experience in forestry or agriculture.
Previous experience with GHG measurements.
Experience working in a laboratory.
Valid EU driver's license required.
Additional merits:
Knowledge of ICOS procedures and protocols.
Knowledge of forest inventory methods.
Experience with vegetation and soil sample processing.
Experience with TLS (Terrestrial Laser Scanner).
Knowledge of programming in R, Python, or Matlab.
We will place great emphasis on personal suitability. Consideration will be given to good collaboration skills, initiative and independence, as well as how the applicant through their experience and competence is assessed to complement and strengthen the work at Hyltemossa Station.
