PhD in Modelling Impacts of Agricultural Practices on Soil Ecosystem Services Wageningen University in Netherlands

Wageningen University & Research is advertising a PhD position in the Earth Systems and Global Change Group on modelling the impacts of agricultural practices on soil ecosystem services across Europe . The project focuses on developing and improving a modelling framework to assess carbon and nutrient flows, soil functions, and the effects of crop, soil, nutrient, and water management on multiple ecosystem services at regional and EU scale. The work is embedded in a wider European collaboration w...

PhD opportunity at Wetsus / Leiden University in AI-driven soil insight and precision management using weed indicators . This project sits at the intersection of agriculture , environmental science , biology , computer science , and statistics . The research explores how weed plant communities can act as practical bio-indicators of soil status in agricultural fields. By combining proximal sensing , field spectroscopy , GIS , plant trait analysis, soil measurements, and microbiome data, the proje...

PhD position in phytoplankton trait diversity , lake ecosystem modelling , and global change ecology at the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) in the Netherlands. The project is part of the SNF-Lead Agency funded BILMo (Biodiversity Inspired Lake Modelling) project, which aims to improve mechanistic lake models by incorporating biodiversity and community composition responses to warming and changing resource availability (light, nitrogen, phosphorus). The successful candidate ...
