PhD in Modelling Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Agriculture Wageningen University and Research 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 opening at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) in the newly granted NWO-ASCENT project. The project is part of a collaboration with researchers from multiple universities in the Netherlands and focuses on how remote sensing can be used to quantify ecosystem functioning in grasslands and forests in response to nitrogen deposition (N deposition) . This opportunity is especially relevant for candidates with experience or strong interest in combining ecological field work , lab anal...

Wageningen University’s Earth Systems and Global Change Group is hiring a PhD candidate for a 4-year project on modelling impacts of agricultural practices on soil ecosystem services . The research focuses on how agricultural practices affect soil functions and multiple ecosystem services across Europe. It sits within a large European collaborative project, so the successful candidate will have opportunities to work with researchers and partners across Europe. Supervision is listed as Dr. Gerard...

PhD opportunity at the Universitat de Lleida (UdL), Spain linked to the DoubleCrop project . The project focuses on sustainable double-cropping systems through diversification , circularity , and mitigation of nitrogen losses . The research combines on-farm experimentation , soil and environmental measurements , and process-based modelling using the STICS model . This opportunity is aimed at candidates with a Master’s degree , a strong academic record , and a background in agricultural sciences ...
