Postdoc in plant ecology and ecophysiology for green façades and building insulation Wageningen University & Research in Netherlands

Wageningen University & Research is recruiting a PhD candidate for a project on green façades , urban biodiversity , ecology , and building insulation . The BIO-SKIN project (Bio-Inspired Outer Surfaces to Kool, Insulate and Nurture) develops bio-based, waste-derived, circular façade systems that integrate plant growth to keep buildings cool, improve insulation, support biodiversity, and contribute to more sustainable urban environments. The PhD research will focus on how plant-soil-insect inter...
