The mission of the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) as a nationally and internationally active research institute is to deliver solutions for an ecologically, economically and socially sustainable agriculture – together with society. ZALF is a member of the Leibniz Association and is located in Müncheberg (approx. 35 minutes by regional train from Berlin-Lichtenberg). It also maintains a research station with further locations in Dedelow and Paulinenaue.
We are offering a postdoc position within the project “Leibniz Lab: Systemic Sustainability” addressing interrelations and trade-offs between climate change and biodiversity in agri-food systems. Research from across scientific disciplines in various Leibniz Research Institutes will be synthesized and made tangible for science-policy dialogues at multiple levels. The core question is: how can we preserve biodiversity and create resilient agri-food systems in the face of the climate crisis? The focus of this position is to co-lead the work package on science-policy dialogue in close cooperation the German Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA). The fulltime position will start as soon as possible and is limited until March 2027.
