PhD in Soil Health, Biodiversity and Function in Agrivoltaic Sheep Farming Systems University of Limerick in Ireland

Universitat de Lleida is advertising a PhD position focused on reducing nitrogen pollution in double-cropping farming systems. The project combines on-farm trials and crop/soil measurements, including soybean + fertigation with pig slurry, nitrate leaching, N2O emissions, and ammonia volatilization. A key modelling component is parameterizing the STICS crop model for double-cropping systems. Ideal applicants should have a Master's degree (300 ECTS) with a 7.0/10 average in Agriculture, Soil Scie...
