Die Mission des Leibniz-Zentrums für Agrarlandschaftsforschung (ZALF) e. V. als national und international agierendes Forschungszentrum ist es, an der ökonomisch, ökologisch und sozial nachhaltigen Landwirtschaft der Zukunft zu forschen – gemeinsam mit Akteuren aus der Wissenschaft, Politik und Praxis. Das ZALF ist Mitglied der Leibniz-Gemeinschaft und unterhält neben dem Hauptstandort in Müncheberg (ca. 35 Minuten mit der Regionalbahn von Berlin-Lichtenberg) eine Forschungsstation mit weiteren Standorten in Dedelow sowie Paulinenaue.
Currently we are looking for a motivated researcher joining our team within the joint research project NEmGem, including the possibiliy to pursue a PhD within the project. In vegetable production, high nitrous oxide (N2O) and ammonia (NH3) emissions occur after harvesting, since a high proportion of harvest residues with mostly high nitrogen (N) content remains in the field. The aim of the project NEmGem is to reduce these N2O and NH3 emissions in field vegetable production. In order to achieve this goal, processing (composting, ensiling and anaerobic digestion) and recycling of crop residues will be investigated within field trial as well as 15N and incubation studies. Besides ZALF, the project consortium includes the Leibniz Institute of Vegetable and Ornamental Crops (IGZ), the Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Technology and Bioeconomy (ATB) and the Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences (HS MD-SDL). ZALF IBG will be partly responsible for the working packages 2 “Quantify the mitigation of N emissions in the field and N transfer to the succeeding crop by enhancing crop residues” and 4 “Assessment of measure efficiency and measurement of N fluxes in incubation trials”. The particular focus for the work will therefore be on N dynamics and transformation processes in field vegetable production.
We are offering a part-time position (65% full-time equivalent) for three years, starting earliest 1st of July 2024, located at ZALF in Müncheberg.
Women are particularly encouraged to apply. Applications from severely disabled persons with equal qualifications are favored. The filling of the position in part-time is possible in principle.
