[Almut Arneth <Almut.arneth@kit.edu>]

Dear all,

I have the opportunity to identify and nominate excellent young researchers (with an initial preference for female researchers) for receiving an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship to be working within my group. Please forward to potentially interested candiates.

Thanks a lot, and with my best regards to all of you -- hope things are well,

Almut

·      Initial preference will be given to female applicants

Research topics include:

·         Developing, evaluating and applying process‐based models of land ecosystems and their coupling to atmospheric, land-use and biodiversity models;

·         Utilising different observational data streams (satellite remote sensing, field plot data, statistics) in novel ways to enhance process understanding of ecosystem or land-use change processes and to test models;

·         Providing quantitative analysis related to changes in biodiversity and ecosystem services in the context of the groups’ modelling work.
