After doing his postdoctoral fellowship at Duke, he moved to the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), Germany, where he used the dynamic global vegetation model LPJ, as a postdoc part of the Marie Curie Research Training Network supported by the European Commission's Sixth Framework Programme. Ben also worked at the Swiss Federal Research Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL for two years as a Marie Curie Fellow, concentrating on regional climate impacts and vegetation modeling in mountain systems. He is now (2011) moving to the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environment in Paris working with Philippe Ciais and the Orchidee model.
