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.
