Research Associate for the Project “PyMICCS”: Pyrogenic carbon and carbonating minerals for enhanced plant growth and carbon capture and storage”

Deadline: 1 September

Position on soil modelling at University of Hamburg, Department of Earth System Sciences, Institute of Soil Science (fixed contract until 31.08.2025; 65 % of standard work hours per week): The Project aims to investigate the potential of enhanced weathering in combination with biochar application (PyMiCCs products) for the incorporation and stabilization of carbon in arable soils, and to evaluate the consequent potential as a CCS technology for climate-change mitigation. The project combines laboratory, green house and field experiments with process-based numerical modelling and agro economic potential analyses. The PyMiCCs project is a collaborative research program at Universität Hamburg, Geisenheim University, ithaka institute and PIK Potsdam.
