(02) Fully Funded PhD Position
PhD position summary/title:– Doctoral Researcher, Sustainable lake restoration
The Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry at the University of Helsinki invites applications for the position of a Doctoral Researcher in Sustainable lake restoration
The Doctoral researcher will be appointed for a fixed-term 3-year contract (Start date: January 1, 2025) to work in a multidisciplinary project entitled “Opportunities for the sustainable lake restoration by sediment removal and sediment reuse as phosphorus fertilizer”. The Doctoral project is a part of EU funded project Fostering European Lakes Restoration by Nutrient Removal, Recovery, and Reuse: Integrated Catchment and In-lake Scale Approach (FERRO). The position will be supervised by Dr Olga Tammeorg (Aquatic Sciences) and Dr Priit Tammeorg (Crop Science).
Sediment removal is one of the most effective approaches in lake restoration, because the source of internal phosphorus (P) loading is removed. The further benefits of the sediment removal can be found in the reuse of the sediments as a P fertilizer. The project explores the best practices for the combined approach.
Deadline :31 October 2024

PhD position summary/title:– Doctoral Researcher, Boreal Peatlands
We will systematically characterize the impact of plant water use strategies on peatland productivity by combining 1) novel in-situ water stable isotope methods and state-of-the-art machine learning techniques for process understanding with 2) eddy-covariance carbon and water flux monitoring and multi-sensor remote sensing for vegetation and soil water dynamics. We will integrate our results in a process-based land surface model to provide improved predictions for future carbon emissions of boreal peatlands. The doctoral researcher will work with the extensive observations collected during the project. The observations include novel in situ plant and soil water isotope data, greenhouse gas exchange measurements, as well as ecosystem level eddy covariance measurements, collected at different peatland sites. The doctoral researcher will actively conduct and participate in observations.
The doctoral researcher will work as part of the new Academy of Finland fellowship PeatStress. The position will be located in the micrometeorology group at INAR.
