Universitat de Lleida is advertising a PhD position focused on reducing nitrogen pollution in double-cropping farming systems. The project combines on-farm trials and crop/soil measurements, including soybean + fertigation with pig slurry, nitrate leaching, N2O emissions, and ammonia volatilization. A key modelling component is parameterizing the STICS crop model for double-cropping systems. Ideal applicants should have a Master's degree (300 ECTS) with a 7.0/10 average in Agriculture, Soil Scie...

Université de Sherbrooke is launching a PhD opportunity in analytical and environmental chemistry focused on the presence, aging, and fate of microplastics in lake sediments in Quebec, Canada. The project is part of the multidisciplinary Altered Lakes, Transformed Roles (ALTR) program in collaboration with McGill University . The research combines environmental contaminant analysis with sediment and aquatic ecosystem studies, making it a strong fit for students interested in microplastics, polym...
