PhD Fellowships in Robotic Intercropping, Crop Ecology, and Climate-Smart Farming

Five fully funded PhD fellowships in Robotic Intercropping are available at the University of Copenhagen and Wageningen University. These positions focus on cutting-edge research in crop ecology, modelling, soil–microbe dynamics, and climate-smart farming. The program is designed for students interested in integrating robotics and biosciences to advance sustainable agriculture. Research topics include the development and application of robotic systems for intercropping, understanding ecological interactions in crop systems, and exploring soil–microbe relationships to enhance climate resilience in farming. The fellowships are ideal for candidates with backgrounds in agriculture, biology, environmental science, or robotics. The research environment offers collaboration with leading experts and access to state-of-the-art facilities. Funding is fully provided, covering tuition and a stipend, ensuring financial support throughout the PhD duration. The application deadline is December 14, 2025, giving prospective students ample time to prepare their materials. Applicants should demonstrate a strong academic record and motivation for research in the listed areas. Experience in crop modelling, ecological analysis, or robotic systems is advantageous but not strictly required. The positions are open to international candidates, and the universities provide a vibrant, interdisciplinary research community.
