GSMI- Postdoc Plant ecology and soil plant interactions in vegetated photovoltaic systems-in mining site

Duration: 12 months, renewable.

Position Summary:

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join our team and contribute to an innovative research project. This position is part of a project aimed at evaluating the integration of native vegetation beneath photovoltaic installations in semi-arid post-mine environments. The objectives include soil stabilization, dust reduction, and the creation of a favorable microclimate to enhance the energy performance of solar panels. This position offers an excellent opportunity to develop applied research skills in a field with significant environmental impact.

Responsibilities:

 Selection and characterization of native and local plant species (grasses, legumes, pollinator-friendly plants).

 Implementation of germination, growth, and adaptation trials under semi-arid conditions.

 Execution of field trials on pilot sites.

 Analysis of vegetation effects on microclimate.
