Job Zusammenfassung
In dieser Position entwickelst du digitale Zwillinge von Agroökosystemen, integrierst Echtzeitdaten und verbesserst Modellierungsansätze zur Simulation von Wasser-, Kohlenstoff- und Nährstoffflüssen auf Feld- und Betriebsebene.
Job Technologien
Deine Rolle im Team
- You will contribute to the development of field- and farm-scale agroecosystem digital twins within our interdisciplinary and international research team.
- The position is embedded in the PhenoRob2 Core Project 6, which aims to fuse information from advanced sensing technologies with process-based and data-driven models across spatial and temporal scales.
- Further development and application of the AgroC agroecosystem model for simulating water, carbon, nutrient and energy fluxes at the field and farm scale.
- Integration of AgroC with the Parallel Data Assimilation Framework (PDAF) and development of suitable observation operators.
- Development of workflows for the integration of near-real-time observations of crop growth, crop stress, hydrological states and fluxes, and nutrient dynamics into agroecosystem digital twins.
- Development and application of data-driven, surrogate and hybrid modelling approaches to complement process-based agroecosystem modelling and enable efficient digital twin applications.
- Application of digital twins at selected PhenoRob experimental sites to investigate crop performance, ecosystem functions and trade-offs between ecosystem services under different management options.
- Close collaboration with scientists and doctoral researchers within Core Project 6 and from other PhenoRob2 core projects.
- Dissemination of research results through scientific publications, presentations at international conferences, and contributions to collaborative research proposals.
