About this position

The Department of Plant and Environmental Science at the University of Copenhagen is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for a 34-month project on crop root development and its effects on root-zone water and nitrogen dynamics. The work is centred on the newly established RootAccess facility, which is designed to study crop root growth down to 3 meters and to trace how roots influence water and nitrogen processes at the same depth.

The project will examine how a range of common crops exploit the root zone across different rotations and across periods with and without crops. This makes it possible to study root-driven effects on water uptake, nitrogen uptake, leaching, and denitrification over time and at depth. The experimental platform combines several complementary methods, including soil water sensors, minirhizotrons, soil water suction cells, soil gas samplers, and isotopic tracers to follow root uptake.

The postdoc will join the Crop Physiology and Production Systems research group, which works on crop growth and quality at the crop, crop rotation, and cropping-system levels. The group has strong expertise in root research and uses field-scale facilities, including RadiMax and the new RootAccess platform. The appointed researcher will be part of the project team, co-responsible for running experiments, contributing to publications, and maintaining well-organized datasets and clear result presentation throughout the project.

The position is hosted at the Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen, in Frederiksberg, Denmark, within a research environment focused on crop physiology, root phenotyping, and soil-plant interactions.

Funding details

34-month postdoc position with salary according to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State; salary supplement may be negotiated.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD degree in agricultural science or a related discipline. They should have solid knowledge of whole-plant and crop physiology, including plant and soil water and nutrient relations, along with good technical skills and practical experimental experience with whole-plant or preferably field crop experiments and modern plant analyses and monitoring techniques. Competence in data management and statistical analysis is required, as is a good record of peer-reviewed scientific publications for an early-career stage, good interpersonal skills, experience working collaboratively in multinational teams, and excellent English writing and speaking abilities.

How to apply

Apply electronically via the APPLY NOW link. Submit a motivation letter, CV, diplomas for Master and PhD degrees (or equivalent), a complete publication list, and separate reprints of three particularly relevant papers. Applications must be submitted in English by the deadline.
