About this position

📢 PhD opportunity in Toulouse under the MSCA COFUND BEST doctoral programme at the University of Toulouse.

This is a fully funded PhD starting in September 2027 in agricultural modelling, with a research topic on multi-scale modelling of water and nitrogen dynamics in agricultural systems. The project aims to link field- and farm-scale processes to better understand trade-offs between economic performance and environmental resilience, supporting more sustainable and resilient farming systems.

The PhD will be hosted at AGIR (Agroécologie – Innovations – Territoires), University of Toulouse, with international co-supervision involving Université Laval and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Québec, Canada. The post is especially relevant for candidates interested in Agriculture, Environmental Science, Earth Science, and quantitative modelling of agroecosystems.

Eligibility highlight: MSCA mobility rules apply. Candidates must not have lived or carried out their main activity in France for more than 12 months during the 36 months immediately preceding the application deadline.

Deadline: 23 November 2026. Start date: September 2027.
