On June 1, 2019 we kickstart a 3rd party funded project (GeoKur) to investigate how modern data science methodologies can help fostering synthesis and analysis of global land use change data to biodiversity and ecosystem services patterns. The project is coordinated by Prof. Ralf Seppelt (Computational Landscape Ecology department UFZ) in cooperation with Prof. Lars Bernard (TU Dresden’s Geoinformatics group), Dr. Carsten Meyer (head of iDiv’s Macroecology & Society group) and further international partners.

In order to strengthen the research of the working group “Systems Analysis of the Bioeconomy” at the Department of Bioenergy, we are currently looking for the best candidate for the named position.

Within an application-oriented third-party fundeded project in collaboration with the University of Tübingen a new technology platform for the combined microbial and electrochemical synthesis of fuels/ fuel additives shall be established.
Based on the expertise of the research group (https://www.ufz.de/index.php?en=38424) and particularly based on the prework by Urban et al. (Energy Environ. Sci. 10 (10), 2231 - 2244) electroorganic synthesis in aqueous solutions will be elucidated, improved and engineered up to the liter-scale.

We are looking for a Master student interested in landscape ecology and pollination services.
