The UFZ

The Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) with its 1,100 employees has gained an excellent reputation as an international competence centre for environmental sciences. We are part of the largest scientific organisation in Germany, the Helmholtz association. Our mission : Our research seeks to find a balance between social development and the long-term protection of our natural resources.

The job

The TherMic II project is looking for support with their analyses of energy and matter fluxes in soil ( Link ).

Your tasks

In summary, the job would probably start with soil sieving and then likely expand to tasks relating to the soil incubation experiments and calorimetric experiments (see list below).

Your tasks

• Soil sieving
• Weighing in soil samples
• Preparing solutions
• Taking gas samples from soil incubation setups
• HPLC measurements of residual substrates
