Stellenbeschreibung

Project description:
Urban and peri-urban forests are crucial for our well-being, but climate change and urbanization are threatening their health. In the URBORETUM project, we are researching the ecological processes that influence urban trees and their ecosystem services and investigating their positive impact on human well-being. Our aim is to improve the management of urban forests through practical research.

Our diverse consortium of research institutes and companies is working on these challenges in seven specialized work packages. Based on our research, we develop solutions for the care and preservation of urban trees together with the Karlsruhe Horticultural Office as a practical partner. In this way, we aim to promote sustainable urban development. For more information about the project see: www.urboretum.de Tasks:
• Processing and analyzing soil samples in the laboratory
• Function checks and readings of our sensor network in the district of Karlsruhe
• Support with the management and maintenance of measuring instruments Personal qualifications:
• Independent, reliable and detail-oriented work ethic and a certain degree of flexibility
• Fitness and willingness to work in field conditions
• Abiltiy to ride a bicycle and electric cargo bike

The following would be advantageous:
• Knowledge of geographic information systems (QGIS/ArcGIS)
• Background in soil sample analysis What we offer:
• A degree of flexibility in organizing your work alongside your studies
• Interesting and varied tasks related to urban trees, urban ecology, and academic routine
• Acquisition of knowledge about modern instruments for measuring tree physiological, soil, and air parameters
• Good working atmosphere in a dedicated, interdisciplinary team
• Fully equipped stationary workstation in the center of Karlsruhe (near Europaplatz) for office tasks in preparation and follow-up of work outside Contact person:
