Hello,
The SubWA project (Subterranean Infrastructures in Wetlands: Assessing the Impact on soils, hydromorphy, and biodiversity) is seeking candidates for a research engineer and a post-doctoral researcher positions.
In the context of the energy transition and increasing urbanization, the development of underground infrastructures, particularly network lines (electricity, gas, etc.), raises concerns about their effects on sensitive ecosystems, particularly wetlands, which play a major role in the water cycle, climate regulation, and biodiversity conservation. As part of an interdisciplinary research project, we aim to assess the ecological effects of installing underground network lines (electricity, gas, etc.) in these environments, with a particular focus on biodiversity (flora, fauna especially macroinvertebrates) associated with soil structure, dynamics, and hydromorphic conditions.
The project will begin in October 2025 and conclude in December 2027.
As a research engineer, you will be involved in the following tasks:
- Collecting and analyzing geospatial data related to the characteristics of underground infrastructure and wetland ecosystems
- Contributing to the development and application of study protocols and environmental impact monitoring of underground networks in the field
- Creating thematic maps and synthesis reports to highlight the project’s results
- Integrating geospatial aspects into a comprehensive approach to the project
- Analyzing data and performing spatial modeling to understand the interactions between underground networks and the ecological processes of wetlands.
As a post-doctoral researcher, your missions will be :
- Conduct a literature review
- Contribute to the development of biodiversity assessment protocols
- Organize and carry out field measurement campaigns
- Analyze the response of plant communities to these disturbances
- Explore the consequences on the local trophic network
- Disseminate results through scientific publications, reports, and communication
More details about the positions in the attached files.
Best regards,
Aurélie Davranche
