This prestigious role is part of the 'TERRA' Cluster of Excellence, focusing on terrestrial geo-biosphere interactions. The successful candidate will lead research on how terrestrial biodiversity—particularly animal-based systems—responds to global environmental changes. Key focus areas include soil biodiversity, plant-soil fauna interactions, food webs, and biogeochemical cycles. This position offers a unique opportunity to collaborate within a massive interdisciplinary network of over 25 research groups, bridging the gap between biological and geological sciences.
