Quartermaster BSc portfolio, subset Sustainable transitions society & business
Wageningen University is renewing its BSc portfolio: fewer, sharper programmes with healthier intake. The first track concerns the subset around BTO, BBC, BEB and BIN, where intake is declining most sharply. As quartermaster, you will work with a temporary curriculum committee to design new, complementary BSc programmes that together replace the current ones.
Your tasks
- You lead the design of the new programmes, in line with the regular demand-supply model, and ensure they complement each other.
- You chair the curriculum committee.
- You liaise with programme directors and chair groups, keep programme committees, study advisers, teaching staff and students informed of progress, and report to the Dean of Education.
- You work with various departments within and outside ESA, including the Teaching & Learning Centre, Policy, Student Recruitment and Quality & Strategic Information.
- The design is about more than courses and credits. We also ask: good for whom, and to what end? What kind of people are we educating, and where in the programme is there room for risk, encounter and independent judgement?

Kwartiermaker BSc-portfolio, subset Sustainable transitions society & business
Wageningen University vernieuwt haar BSc-portfolio: minder, scherpere en beter gevulde programma's. Het eerste traject betreft de subset rond BTO, BBC, BEB en BIN, waar de instroom het sterkst daalt. Jij bent kwartiermaker en ontwerpt met een tijdelijke curriculumcommissie nieuwe, complementaire BSc-programma's die samen de huidige opleidingen vervangen.
Je taken
- Je stuurt het ontwerp van de nieuwe programma's aan, volgens het reguliere vraag-aanbodmodel, en bewaakt dat ze elkaar aanvullen.
- Je zit de curriculumcommissie voor.
- Je stemt af met programmadirecteuren en leerstoelgroepen, en informeert programmacommissies, studieadviseurs, docenten en studenten over de voortgang en rapporteert aan de Dean of Education.
- Je werkt samen met verschillende afdelingen binnen en buiten ESA waaronder het Teaching & Learning Centre, Policy, Student Recruitment en Quality & Strategic Information.
- Het ontwerp gaat niet alleen over vakken en credits. We vragen je ook: goed voor wie, en waartoe? Wat voor mensen leiden we op, en waar in het programma zit ruimte voor risico, ontmoeting en eigen oordeelsvorming?

PhD: Moss traits and fire ignition in high-latitude peatland & tundra ecosystems
Are you intrigued by interactions between vegetation and fire? Are you passionate about lab-, field-, and remote sensing-based research? Do you like solving scientific puzzles? We are looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate to explore how moss traits affect fire ignitability in high-latitude ecosystems.
Northern ecosystems, including boreal peatlands and tundra, are warming faster than almost anywhere else on Earth, which is changing their structure and functioning. Permafrost thaw and increasing fire frequency threaten to turn these ecosystems from carbon sinks into carbon, further accelerating climate change. Bryophytes (including mosses) dominate the vegetation across much of these carbon-dense ecosystems. Because of their unique water-retention and insulating properties, they largely determine how susceptible these regions are to severe wildfires. This PhD project examines the relationship between bryophyte functional traits and fire dynamics at the plant, ecosystem, and biome scales, combining lab experiments, fieldwork, and remote sensing. Building on the PEN research line on vegetation-climate feedbacks, your work will advance our understanding of the functional role of bryophytes in fire dynamics and help improve fire risk assessments for these vulnerable systems.
Your duties and responsibilities include:
- Developing methods and designing and executing experiments to test moss ignitability
- Conducting fieldwork in high-latitude ecosystems, including vegetation surveys, monitoring environmental conditions during and after fires, and possibly drone-based observations
- Analysing remote sensing data and global vegetation databases
- Publishing your research in peer-reviewed journals and presenting it at national and international conferences
- Co-supervising BSc and MSc students
You will work here
The research is embedded within the Plant Ecology and Nature Conservation group, specifically within the Vegetation-Climate Feedbacks team. You will be co-supervised by Dr. Thomas Janssen, Dr. José van Paassen and Dr. Juul Limpens.
