About this position
The Cyprus Institute (CyI) is recruiting a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow to join the Energy Environment Water Research Centre (EEWRC) Water Department in Nicosia, Cyprus. The successful candidate will play a key role in the Horizon Europe Soil Mission projects, particularly the EUROSION Project, which aims to establish a European Soil Erosion Monitoring and Modelling Network for Sustainable Agricultural Land Management.
This initiative is a collaboration among 24 research partners across the EU and associated countries, coordinated by Wageningen University. The position involves setting up and maintaining a wind erosion monitoring node in Cyprus, including the deployment and maintenance of sediment traps, saltiphone, saltation sensors, dust emission flux sensors, soil moisture sensors, 2D sonic anemometers, and meteorological sensors. Additional responsibilities include sediment, soil, and vegetation sampling, laboratory analysis, and supporting water erosion monitoring activities.
The Water Department at CyI investigates hydrologic and ecosystem processes and tests agro-ecosystem innovations and management practices through field observations, experimental research, and modeling, in cooperation with stakeholders in Cyprus and abroad. The initial appointment is for 36 months, with the possibility of renewal based on performance and funding. The position offers a competitive salary (starting from €37,641.89 to €43,089.02), flexible and remote work options, additional paid leave, provident fund membership, and group medical and life insurance.
Applicants must have a PhD in Earth, Environmental, or Agricultural Sciences, with proven experience in experimental field research on wind or water erosion, soil laboratory analysis, and large dataset processing and analysis. A valid driver's license is required. Preferred qualifications include strong statistical design and analysis skills, programming abilities (R, Python, Javascript, C, Fortran), and spatial analysis and GIS skills (ArcGIS, QGIS, Google Earth Engine). Excellent English proficiency is required.
Applications should be submitted via The Cyprus Institute Exelsys Platform, including a CV, a short letter of interest, a list of publications or work portfolio, and contact information for two referees. All documents must be in English and PDF format. For further information, contact Dr Adriana Bruggeman ([email protected]).
