The Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development (IOER) in Dresden is looking forward to fulfil the following position – subject to the final approval of the funding agency – according to the German law on fixed-term contracts in science (WissZeitVG) to be filled from 01.01.2023 onwards:
Senior Researcher / PostDoc (f/m/d)/ Spatial Data Science for sustainable landscape transformations,
TV-L E 13, Full time with 40 working hours per week, fixed-term work contract for three years with the option of a permanent working contract
The Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development is a non-university re-search institute in the field of the spatial sciences and a member of the Leibniz- Association. Our subject is the sustainable development and transformation of cities and regions in the context of the global human-ecological crisis.
Sustainable land use and spatial structure are of particular importance in this context. To an-swer the related questions, small-scale data, analyses, simulations, scenarios and assessments are needed for research purposes and to support decision-making in various contexts. This is why the IOER plans to develop an integrated IOER Research Data Centre (IOER-FDZ) from 01.01.2023, building on its established research data infrastructure "Monitor of Settlement and Spatial Development (IOER Monitor)".
The advertised position is to contribute to developing advanced methods of data collection, analysis, interpretation and result visualisation, and to complementing research data sets. The position is assigned to the research area "Landscape, Ecosystems and Biodiversity" and works in a cross-departmental team that is building up the IÖR-FDZ.
Job description
In order to achieve a sustainable transformation of landscapes, factors such as agriculture and forestry, urbanisation, resource consumption and energy production, changing land use as well as changing ideas of environmental protection and nature conservation are examined in a national framework as well as in an international comparative context. Their effects for landscape, ecosystem and biodiversity development will be investigated and presented.
The field of activity requires competences in spatial sustainability, planning and/or landscape sciences, as well as in geoinformatics and in the new or further development of indicators. The indicators are used to record, analyse and evaluate landscape transformations and their implications for ecosystems and biodiversity. The results of the research should contribute to a broad societal debate on appropriate strategies and instruments as well as effective levers for a sustainable transformation of landscapes.
