The Industrial Ecology Progam (IndEcol) at the Department of Energy and Process Engineering, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), is offering a two-year postdoctoral/researcher position on climate and bio resources. NTNU is a well-established institution in this domain with authors contributing to 5^th assessment report by the IPCC and more than 30 peer reviewed publications in this domain over the last few years. Many of the transformation pathways presented by the IPCC are strongly dependent on land related measures to meet ambitious targets of climate change mitigation. At the same time, understanding and modelling how to best manage land and terrestrial ecosystems for climate change mitigation across different biomes with varying climatic conditions remains a formidable challenge.

We seek a person that is strongly motivated to join our team to address the interdisciplinary complexities of the land-climate nexus, with a particular focus on boreal forest management and regional/global climate. The selected candidate will join our group to obtain insights that can guide the design of future strategies for resource supply and utilization in the context of climate change mitigation. The successful candidate should hold a PhD in forest sciences, climate science, geo-informatics, or geography. PhDs in applied informatics, physics and mathematics are also welcome to apply. Given the interdisciplinary nature of the topic, we deem interest and ability to explore new fields and sub-fields of the interactions of terrestrial ecosystems with climate importance. The candidate should have good programming skills in one or several languages (e.g. Pyton, Matlab, Java, FORTRAN) in addition to good understanding of fundamental in mathematics and physics. Experience with handling large datasets, data parsing, and use of land surface schemes is an advantage. Strong analytical capabilities are expected. The candidate must be a good team player while also being able to work independently and bring the research forward. The applicant must be excellent in English both written and orally. The position is of 2 years duration. Depending on qualifications, the candidate will be hired as a Postdoctoral Fellow or as a Researcher. Trondheim is the place of duty.

Researcher 1109 are remunerated in kode 1109 and Postdoctor fellows are remunerated in code 1352, and they are normally remunerated at wage level 57, gross NOK 483 400 before tax. The salary is adjusted according to the recent wage negotiations. There will be a 2 % deduction for superannuation.?
