This PhD project is based at the Department of Biosystems and Technology at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and is connected to the national Biogas Solutions Research Center (BSRC). The work sits at the interface of agricultural science, biomass supply, and biogas-oriented bioeconomy systems. The project will investigate how agricultural crop biomass can be used as a substrate for biogas while supporting the development of sustainable cropping systems. Using a field experiment pl...

About this position

This postdoctoral position at Aarhus University is based in the Department of Agroecology, within the Soil Fertility Section, and is embedded in a research environment focused on soil fertility and nutrient turnover in agricultural soils.

The project centres on soil nutrient dynamics and soil health indicators in arable and ley-based cropping systems. You will work on the ecosystem services of grassland leys and the use of biochar in arable cropping systems, with a particular emphasis on how amendments and cropping systems affect soil nutrient dynamics. The work is experimental and uses already established field experiments, including long-term field experiments.

The position is situated at Aarhus University’s Campus AU Viborg in Tjele and connects you to a department that combines fundamental research, applied agricultural solutions, and access to professional laboratories, greenhouses, semi-field and field-scale facilities, advanced computing capacity, and a broad national and international researcher network.

The successful candidate will also be expected to contribute to the department’s teaching activities and to communicate research results through high-impact scientific journals.

Funding details

2-year full-time postdoctoral position with salary and terms according to the Danish collective agreement; basic salary steps 4-8.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD in soil science, agronomy, biology or a similar field. The advert expects collaborative skills, ability to work in teams, initiative, motivation for a scientific career, documented scientific writing and peer-reviewed publication experience, and research experience in soil nutrient dynamics, soil structure, or soil amendments. Preferred qualifications include teaching and supervision experience at BSc and MSc level, experience developing national and international research applications, field-work and laboratory-work experience, insight into soil carbon dynamics and soil nutrient/chemical/physical processes, and experience with agronomic, environmental and climate impacts of grassland mixtures in cropping systems. The application must be in English.

How to apply

Apply through Aarhus University’s recruitment system via the job advertisement on the university website. Submit the application in English with a CV, degree certificate, complete publication list, statement of future research plans, research activity information, teaching portfolio, and verified teaching experience if available.
