Scientist (f/m/div) in integration and synthesis of knowledge on agriculture, nutrition, climate change & biodiversity - Großbeeren - ref. d62522315
Leibniz Institute of Vegetable and Ornamental Crops (IGZ) Großbeeren
With its work, the Leibniz Institute of Vegetable and Ornamental Crops (IGZ) contributes to a better understanding of plant systems and thus to the development of sustainable and resilient horticulture. The IGZ conducts research at the interface between plants, humans and the environment.
In doing so, we address systemic and global challenges such as biodiversity loss, climate change, urbanization and malnutrition. We provide scientifically sound recommendations for healthy agri-food systems and sustainable interactions with the environment.
The IGZ brings together a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines. Employees with different backgrounds conduct research in national and international research co-operations. The IGZ is based in Großbeeren near Potsdam and near Berlin and is a member of the Leibniz Association.
The Institute is seeking to fill the following position in the research group ‘Economic Development and Food Security’ in the programme area ‘Plant Quality and Food Security’ (QUALITY):
Thereby, text-based publications and quantitative data sets should be integrated to obtain a comprehensive overview. This should lead to the identification of remaining knowledge gaps. The work will be carried out in close collaboration with a team at the TIB and other partners from the Leibniz Association.
