hace 6 días

Barcelona, España Instituto de Salud Global de Barcelona (ISGlobal) A tiempo completo

**Descripción**:
The Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) is a cutting-edge institute addressing global public health challenges through research, translation into policy and education. ISGlobal has a broad portfolio in communicable and non-communicable diseases including environmental and climate determinants, and applies a multidisciplinary scientific approach ranging from the molecular to the population level. Research is organized in five programs: Climate, Air Pollution, Nature and Urban Health; Environment and Health over the Lifecourse; Global Viral and Bacterial Infections; Malaria and Neglected Parasitic Diseases and Maternal Child and Reproductive Health. ISGlobal is accredited with the Severo Ochoa distinction, a seal of excellence of the Spanish Science Ministry.

TipESM Horizon Europe Grant Agreement Number 101137673.

**Lugar**:
Barcelona

**What We Are Looking for**:
The Climate and Health Group (led by ICREA Professor Xavier Rodó) is looking for a post-doctoral researcher interested in working on dynamic vegetation models and land surface modelling coupled to simulations of the Earth's climate obtained by climate change models. The position is available for a fixed-term period of 24 months with the possibility of extensions pending on the evaluation of results.

This position is funded by TipESM, a project funded by the European Union. TipESM is funded by the European Union, Horizon Europe Funding Programme for research and innovation under GA Nr. 101137673.

**About the postdoctoral position**:
A better understanding of how tropical ecosystems and complex vegetation responds to rapid and drastic changes in the climate system is urgently required in order to meet climate, biodiversity conservation and sustainability goals, in particular the Paris Agreement of Climate Convention. Similarly, the functioning of such ecosystem models coupled to climate forcing requires a harmonised approach to integrate such data into computational models, the outcomes of which can then be used for critical decision making.
This recruitment targets the following specific directions:
The effects of Earth's tipping points on the fate and collapse of tropical forests.
Plant ecophysiological responses and feedback to droughts and temperature extremes.
Vegetation demographic shifts in tropical regions under climate change (e.g. the Amazon and the African rainforests).
Ecosystem's resilience and recovery.
Vegetation model coupling to Earth system models simulations of different climate regime shifts.

**Field research**:

- Biological sciences
- Computer science
- Environmental science
- Geosciences
- Mathematics

**TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE /QUALIFICATIONS**:
**KEY RESPONSIBILITIES**:

- The post-doctoral researcher will primarily work with the global land surface model LPJ-GUESS, with GFDL-ESM4.1 and other CMIP6 models to study the response of the Amazon and central Africa rainforests to different climate conditions, particularly tipping points in the Earth system. The work will also feed other work being developed with models aimed at studying pathogen spillover dynamics.
- This job description reflects the present requirements of the post but may evolve at any time in the future as duties and responsibilities change and/or develop providing there is appropriate consultation with the post-holder.

**SKILLS**:

- Basic knowledge in climatology and ecology
- Very good programming skills (e.g., Python, R, Matlab, C/C++, Fortran in the Linux environment) and experience in big data analytics are required.
- Cutting-edge expertise in modeling and statistical analyses;
- Proven abilities to publish at a high international level;
