About this position

Universitat de Lleida is offering a PhD opportunity within the DoubleCrop project, based in Lleida, Spain. The project sits at the interface of agronomy, soil science and environmental science, with a focus on improving understanding of sequential double-cropping systems.

The PhD researcher will develop on-farm field experiments integrating soybean or fertigation with micro-filtered pig slurry. The work will examine reactive nitrogen losses, including nitrate leaching, nitrous oxide emissions and ammonia volatilization, linking agricultural production with environmental performance.

A major component of the project will involve parametrizing and evaluating the STICS process-based model for double-cropping systems. The researcher will combine field experimentation, environmental measurements, data collection, statistical analysis and crop modelling.

The research will be conducted within a lab working across agronomy, soil sciences and environmental sciences. The project offers an opportunity to work in the diverse agricultural landscape surrounding Lleida, including the Horta de Lleida, while contributing to research on Mediterranean cropping systems and sustainable nutrient management.

Funding details

This is a four-year PhD contract at Universitat de Lleida. The salary is according to Spanish laws. Candidates must apply to the Universitat de Lleida predoctoral grants call.

What's required

Applicants must hold a Master’s degree or equivalent with at least 300 ECTS and a minimum average qualification of 7.0/10, with foreign qualifications calculated according to the stated Spanish equivalence criteria. Candidates should have knowledge of field-crop agronomy, soil sciences and/or process-based modelling; a strong background in data collection and statistical analysis for life sciences; a driving licence; excellent English; and strong communication and scientific writing skills. Expertise in Mediterranean cropping systems and command of Spanish are welcomed.

How to apply

Send a letter of interest, academic records and CV by email to Daniel Plaza-Bonilla at [email protected]. Candidates must also apply to the Universitat de Lleida predoctoral grants call.
