PhD position at the University of Amsterdam (Netherlands) in the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED), focused on how vegetation structure and functional traits influence soil microbial ecology , below-ground microclimate , and ecosystem carbon cycling across spatial scales. The project addresses how drought and heat waves affect soil microorganisms and carbon storage, and how vegetation can buffer climate extremes by modifying soil temperature, moisture, and carbon allocatio...

PhD opportunity in Environmental Science, Ecology, and Remote Sensing at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) in collaboration with Utrecht University. The project, Reading Ecosystems from Space: Hyperspectral earth observation for understanding impacts of nitrogen deposition on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning , is part of the newly funded NWO ASCENT consortium. The PhD candidate will work on interdisciplinary research combining ecology, remote sensing, data science, and model...

PhD opening at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) in the newly granted NWO-ASCENT project. The project is part of a collaboration with researchers from multiple universities in the Netherlands and focuses on how remote sensing can be used to quantify ecosystem functioning in grasslands and forests in response to nitrogen deposition (N deposition) . This opportunity is especially relevant for candidates with experience or strong interest in combining ecological field work , lab anal...

PhD candidate: Reading Ecosystems from Space at the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) in the Netherlands . This PhD sits in the ASCENT project and combines remote sensing , ecology , global change , and environmental science . The project focuses on quantifying biodiversity and ecosystem functioning responses to nitrogen deposition and restoration efforts using airborne and satellite hyperspectral Earth Observation data. You will work across grasslands and forests, including ...
