About this position

This PhD project at the Universitat de Lleida focuses on agronomy, soil science, and environmental science within the DoubleCrop project. The doctoral researcher will contribute to the development of sequential double-cropping systems, with particular attention to integrating soybean or fertigation with micro-filtered pig slurry.

The position combines practical field work with modelling. The student will help design and run on-farm experiments, measure reactive nitrogen losses from the system, and evaluate environmental outcomes including nitrate leaching, nitrous oxide emissions, and ammonia volatilization. A central part of the PhD will be the parametrization and evaluation of the STICS model for double-cropping systems.

The work will be based at the Universitat de Lleida in Lleida, Spain, within a research environment that operates at the interface of agronomy, soil sciences, and environmental sciences. The advert also points to the group’s website for further information about the lab and its research context.
