TheNetherlands,UtrechtUniversity

At the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development at Utrecht
University, we are looking for anenthusiastic
and ambitious colleague to further strengthen our group with a specific focus
on nature-based solutionsonclimateadaptationandwater.

Unsustainable land management and climate change have degraded
ecosystems and natural carbonand
water storage processes, leading to soil degradation and land subsidence as
well as increasedfloodinganddroughts.MeetingtheParisClimateAgreement bylimitingglobalwarmingtobelow1.5

– 2 degrees Celsius at the end of the 21 century requires negative
greenhouse gas emissions. Much isexpected
of land-based negative emissions to sequester carbon by afforestation,
reforestation, orsoilandwetlandrestoration.

With nature based solutions, we expect to increase adaptive
capacity to water-related effects ofclimate
change while at the same time increasing carbon sequestration in the landscape
andminimizing loss of biodiversity.
We search for candidates with knowledge on soil and water processesinecosystemfunctioning, preferablywithempirical
andmodellingskills.

The deadline for application is 15/08/2022http://www.earthworks-jobs.com/climate/utrecht22074.html
