About this position

PhD fellowship in forest soil biogeochemistry, greenhouse gas fluxes, and environmental science at the University of Copenhagen, Section of Forest & Landscape Ecology, Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management (IGN).

The project is part of “Predicting the climate change mitigation potential of new forest landscapes in Denmark”, funded by Independent Research Fund Denmark. It focuses on how tree species, soil types, and forest management affect soil emissions and uptake of N2O, CH4, and CO2 in temperate forest ecosystems.

You will work with existing unpublished datasets, field campaigns across Danish forests, laboratory mesocosm experiments, advanced gas flux measurements, stable isotope techniques, and statistical/data analysis. The research is linked to the Biogeochemistry research group at IGN and includes collaboration with Land-CRAFT at Aarhus University.

Ideal candidates have a background in soil science, biogeochemistry, or environmental science, strong skills in R or similar programming languages, fieldwork experience, and fluent academic English. Experience with advanced greenhouse gas measurement equipment is an advantage.

The position is a full-time PhD fellowship for up to 3 years under the regular PhD programme at the SCIENCE PhD School. The expected start date is 1 December 2026 (or soon after).

Application deadline: 16 August 2026. Apply through the University of Copenhagen portal and include a motivation letter, research idea/methods description, CV, diplomas/transcripts, and optional publication list/reference letters.
