The Julius Kühn Institute in Germany is advertising two research positions in agricultural and environmental modelling: a postdoctoral researcher and a PhD researcher. The postdoctoral project will develop a hybrid suitability and risk assessment framework. The work will integrate crop model outputs with soil and climate data, then use GIS-based mapping and spatial analysis to evaluate agricultural suitability and risk across space. The PhD project focuses on process-based crop modelling using D...

About this position

The Julius Kühn Institute in Braunschweig, Germany, is recruiting researchers for the new LeguMap project within an international Cropping Systems Research team.

LeguMap investigates where and under which conditions major grain legumes—including field pea, faba bean, soybean and narrow-leafed lupin—can be grown successfully across Germany. The project will translate research findings into practical, publicly accessible decision-support maps supporting more diversified, climate-resilient and sustainable cropping systems.

The postdoctoral researcher will develop approaches that integrate soil and climate information, crop-model outputs and expert knowledge into nationwide maps of cultivation suitability and production risks. The PhD researcher will apply and further develop process-based crop models, including DSSAT-CROPGRO and SSM-iCrop2, calibrate and validate them using extensive multi-environment trial data, and investigate crop development, yield potential and climate-related risks.

The team combines expertise in crop modelling, agronomy, environmental data analysis and sustainable cropping systems. Researchers will work alongside Til Feike, Amir Hajjarpoor, Henrike Mielenz and Ashifur Rahman Shawon, with opportunities for independent research, scientific publication and international collaboration.

The positions are based in Braunschweig and are scheduled to start in January 2027.

Funding details

The postdoctoral position is 90% for three years, and the PhD researcher position is 65% for three years. No stipend, salary amount, tuition coverage or other financial details are stated.

What's required

Applicants should be motivated researchers with a background in agronomy, crop modelling, environmental sciences, geospatial analysis, or a related field. The PhD role requires applying and developing process-based crop models and calibrating and validating them with multi-environment trial data; the postdoctoral role requires integrating soil, climate, crop-model outputs and expert knowledge into nationwide suitability and production-risk maps.

How to apply

Apply through the relevant position link: the postdoctoral research position link for the postdoc role or the PhD position link for the doctoral role. The post does not provide an application deadline or further document instructions.
