The
elements key to life such as carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen are
continuously exchanged among the land, ocean and atmosphere in what are
known as global biogeochemical cycles. Research in the IMPRS-gBGC
discovers how these cycles function, how they are interconnected, and
how they can change with climate or human activity.
Students participate in ongoing research comprising field observations, method development, experiments, and modeling. Students will also benefit from a three-month external research visit, specialised courses in e.g. statistics, Earth observation, modelling and analytical techniques, as well as in soft skills.
The school is thus an excellent starting platform for a successful career in a field related to global biogeochemical cycles and Earth System Science.
Individual PhD projects deal with various aspects of global biogeochemical cycles.
Current PhD positions
Atmosphere & Ocean
- The carbon cycle of northern Eurasia studied at the Zotino Tall Tower Observatory, central Siberia
Biosphere & Ecosystems
- Data-driven modeling of global carbon and water cycles
- Data-based models to understand biogeochemical cycles: Accounting for temporal - autocorrelation
- Verifying, improving and extending EO-LDAS radiative-transfer modelling constraints for the application of the Sentinel-1 and -2 radar and optical sensors
Soils, soil biology and soil hydrology
- Meadow ants as physical ecosystem engineers and switches for biogeochemical heterogeneity
Paleoclimate
- Transfer of environmental and climatic signals into volcanically influenced lake sediments
- Timing of long-term carbonate mobilisation in a limestone aquifer, subproject “Hydrogeochemistry”
Requirements
Applications for the program are open to well-motivated and highly-qualified students from all countries. A prerequisite is a diploma or master of science degree in geophysical sciences, environmental sciences, biological sciences, physics, chemistry, computer sciences or related fields, including a corresponding thesis. Please also check the individual project descriptions on our website. Proficiency in English is required since English is the official language of the program.
How to apply
We accept applications for PhD scholarships until August 05, 2012. Top candidates will be invited to take part in our selection symposium on October 10-12, 2012.

After you have been selected...
The IMPRS office will happily assist you with your transition to Jena.
Successful applicants are expected to join us in fall-winter 2012 and will be offered financial support of roughly 1200 Euros/month to cover their basic living expenses. There are no tuition fees. Handicapped persons with comparable qualifications receive preferential status
