The Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre in Frankfurt am Main seeks to fill a position for the interdisciplinary project MORE STEP - Mobility at risk: Sustaining the Mongolian Steppe Ecosystem:

Researcher (m/f/d) MSc or PhD in Ecosystem Modelling

 (full-time position / part time options are available)

The MORE STEP project is a collaborative and interdisciplinary research project of Mongolian and German partners funded by BMBF. The main aim is to bring social and ecological sciences together to identify societal drivers that can lead to an ecological tipping point of the Mongolian steppe ecosystem. The objective is the early identification including possible consequences for nature and society. The project particularly emphasizes the importance of mobility of wildlife and livestock in the context of societal change and seeks to contribute to the sustainable development of the Mongolian Steppe ecosystem.

The applicant for the position here should integrate grazing into the Dynamic Global Vegetation Model LPJ-GUESS in order to assess i.) where grazing by Mongolian gazelles and livestock might be unstainable because too much of the available vegetation productivity is consumed and ii.) how climate change might influence the carrying capacity of the steppe for large herbivores. The applicant can built upon recent model developments for the integration of moving gazelles into LPJ-GUESS (Stratmann et al. 2023, published in Ecology).

Tasks and Responsibilities

• To integrate a simplified livestock module into our coupled vegetation-herbivore model
• To develop scenarios until 2050 for future vegetation change and forage availability under different climate change and grazing scenarios
• To identify areas where climate change might alter the capacity of the steppe to sustain herbivores (wildlife and livestock)
• Contribute to dissemination activities towards policy makers and stakeholders
• Disseminate results in scientific journals and more stakeholder-oriented formats

Place of employment:         Frankfurt (Hesse)

Working hours:                   full-time position (40 weekly working hours / part time options are available)

Type of contract:                The contract shall ideally start as of November 2023 and is limited until 30 September 2025

Salary:                                  according to the collective agreement of the State of Hesse (pay grade E 13, TV-H)
