12 Management PhD graduate research assistantships and post-doctoral research associate

Patterns in Soil-vegetation-atmosphere monitoring, modeling
and data assimilation

The TR32 is a center for interdisciplinary research collaboration
including the universities of Aachen, Bonn, Cologne and research
Jülich (Germany). The TR32 includes a wide range of natural resources
scientific disciplines and manages the grounds of the state variables and
Flows of mass and energy in soil-vegetation-atmosphere coupled
Systems because of the exchange processes and complex interactions. We
Now announces a series of positions as a research assistant in graduate and postgraduate education research associate doctorate.

PhD students will be part of the newly established TR32 Graduate
School.
