> The Department of Ecology of the Institute of Botany at the University of
> Innsbruck (Austria, http://www.uibk.ac.at/c/c7/c717/) announces the opening
> of a position at the PhD or Post-doctoral level in the
> soil-vegetation-atmosphere-transfer (SVAT) modelling group. The objective of
> the SVAT modelling group is to analyse the effects of land-use changes on
> soil-vegetation-atmosphere mass and energy exchange of mountain ecosystems,
> mainly, but not exclusively, of semi-natural mountain grasslands. In this
> context, we are seeking an individual with proven expertise in the field of
> micrometeorology, in particular in
>
> 1. modelling of the turbulent transfer of momentum and important scalars
> such as water vapour, air temperature and carbon dioxide within and above
> the canopy, and
>
> 2. the measurement of mass and energy exchange between the vegetation and
> the atmosphere using aerodynamic, Bowen-Ration-Energy-Balance (BREB) and
> Eddy-covariance methods.
>
> Programming experience is a must, background knowledge in other fields of
> environmental biophysics (soil physics, ecophysiology, radiative transfer,
> ...) would be a plus. Excellent oral and written English communication skills

> While the intention is to establish this position on a long term basis,
