The position is embedded in the C1 coordination project of the DFG-SNF funded Research Unit "PhytOakmeter - Using clonal oak phytometers to unravel acclimation and adaptation mechanisms of long-lived forest tree holobionts to ecological variations and climate change".

Further information on the project is available at.

Tasks:

- for overseeing the synthesis process of the project with a focus on integrating the complementary omics approaches to develop a comprehensive understanding of acclimation and adaptation in oak
- for modeling the ecological niche of Quercus robur and defining drought conditions for Q. robur across its natural range and along the project's European transect
- for investigating the resistance, resilience, and recovery of the out-planted Q. robur DF159 clonal plants as function of annual increment, volumetric wood moisture, and sap flow, making use of an extensive existing geo-referenced environmental database describing the sampling sites
