- 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 and often leads to shifts in forest community composition. Species composition can alter the allocation of forest carbon above versus belowground, and the turnover rate of the different forest soil carbon pools, both of which influence forest carbon stocks. Quantifying forest carbon stocks is complex and requires a combination of long-term monitoring and innovative techniques, including process modeling, stable isotope assays, and remote sensing.
- You will contribute to three research directions: 1. Conduct a baseline monitoring and mapping of forest soil carbon and develop a future soil carbon monitoring program, 2. Estimate soil forest carbon turnover and vertical transport by collaborating with functional soil ecologists and by incorporating forest soil process models, and 3. Collaborate with remote sensing scientists to estimate aboveground forest carbon.
- You will interact with multi-disciplinary researchers in the FORLUX project, including plant ecophysiologists, geochemists, geophysicists, soil microbiologists, and biogeochemical and hydrological modelers, 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 water-tree interactions 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.
- You will be mainly in charge of:
- Contributing to collaborative research with Luxembourg forest stakeholders, including researchers, forest managers, and forest policy makers.
- Establishing baseline mapping of soil carbon stocks and future forest soil carbon monitoring for the City of Luxembourg (i.e., mixed urban and suburban forests).
- Collaborating with remote sensing researchers to estimate above-ground forest biomass carbon.
- Collaborating with PhD researchers to design cutting-edge experiments of how forest soil carbon responds to drought, using molecular-level analysis of soil carbon.
- Incorporating the above data into an innovative forest soil process model with a focus on vertical and horizontal transfer between soil carbon pools.
Your roles and responsibilities will include:
- An active contribution to progress in projects of regular size and scope.
- Discussion and definition with the task leader, the principal investigator (PI), and external stakeholders in the project, of the objectives and expected results of the forest carbon task (i.e., using a co-creation approach).
- Interaction in a collaborative manner with other team members to achieve goals.
- Organization of own work to meet objectives and deadlines. Informing regularly on work progress and addressing promptly any unexpected problem that could impact the work plan or the good development of your work.
- Disseminating the research results through the publication of scie
