- Forests contribute to stabilizing micro and macro climate, sustain and protect biodiversity, contribute to global carbon uptake and storage, support livelihoods, and help drive inclusive and sustainable growth. Luxembourg city is one of the country’s largest forest owners, with its 1,055 hectares of forests (managed by the ‘Administration de la nature et des Forêts - ANF)’ playing multiple roles - including (i) recreational purposes, (ii) drinking water production from the Luxembourg sandstone aquifer, (iii) air purification, and (iv) wood production. However, Luxembourg’s forests are far from being sheltered from threats related to global change. In recent years, they have shown a rapid decline in forest health, likely due to increasingly strong exposure to various pressures related to the combined effects of climate change (droughts, flash floods, insect pests and diseases), air pollution, and the development of newly urbanized areas. To maintain and protect the benefits of forests, there is thus a pressing need for a better understanding of these pressures, and more sustainable forest management strategies.

**How will you contribute?**:
Increasing occurrence and severity of droughts and heat waves poses significant challenges to the performance and survival of forest trees. It is not clear what enables different tree species to avoid damage during such extreme events at a given site, and in how far tree size plays a role in their survival. Rooting depth, hydraulic infrastructure, tree water storage and stomatal control all contribute to the ability of forest trees to withstand drought and heat. Even the way trees intercept rainfall and partition it into evaporation, stem flow, and foliar water uptake might play a role for the forest's resistance to drought and its resilience after damage.
- You will develop and combine innovative observation techniques to enhance our understanding of the hydrological and physiological interactions of different tree species with their environment. Your goal will be to quantify the dynamics of the water storage in the soil and saprolite where the trees collect water, and link root zone water availability to atmospheric conditions and tree water relations. This will require the collection and processing of a wide range of data, including meteorological data, soil data and tree sensor data (e.g. sap flow, stem water content and water potential). You will also explore novel methods (e.g. geophysics) to expand our current observational abilities of tree-soil water relations.
- You will strongly interact with multi-disciplinary researchers in the FORLUX project, including plant ecophysiologists, geochemists, geophysicists, soil microbiologists biogeochemical and hydrological modellers, with the aim to develop a holistic understanding of the relevant interactions between different compartments of the forest ecosystem. In collaboration with two other postdoctoral researchers on FORLUX, one focusing on soil processes and carbon stocks in forests and one on tree adaptation modelling, you will draw links between the water and carbon cycles at the studied forest sites and beyond. Regular exchange with non-scientific stakeholders and a strong association of FORLUX with a doctoral training unit on "Forest function under stress" (FORFUS) will further contribute to the holistic view of forests that you will help develop.
**Education**
You hold a PhD in plant biology, environmental science, or a related discipline
**Experience and skills**
- You have a research and publication record in plant ecophysiology, geophysics, and/or ecohydrology
- You enjoy coupling field observations (equipment implementation and maintenance, sampling, data collection) and data analysis. Programming experience is a plus.
- You like working in a team, explaining and presenting research ideas and results.
- You are keen to achieve highest levels of scientific practice. Experience with Open Science approaches and techniques is a plus.
- Experience with designing/managing experimental sites or research observatories is a plus.
**Language skills**
- Very good level of written and spoken English.
- French, German or Luxembourgish speaking is an asset.
**Your LIST benefits**:
- An organization with a passion for impact and strong RDI partnerships in Luxembourg and Europe that works on responsible and independent research projects
- Sustainable by design, empowering our belief that we play an es
