Postdoctoral Research Opportunity in Carbon Sequestration Pathways in Compost- and Basalt-Amended Soils The Hebrew University of Jerusalem

Universitat de Lleida is advertising a PhD position focused on reducing nitrogen pollution in double-cropping farming systems. The project combines on-farm trials and crop/soil measurements, including soybean + fertigation with pig slurry, nitrate leaching, N2O emissions, and ammonia volatilization. A key modelling component is parameterizing the STICS crop model for double-cropping systems. Ideal applicants should have a Master's degree (300 ECTS) with a 7.0/10 average in Agriculture, Soil Scie...

PhD opportunity at Mississippi State University in the Weed Science Research Group for a project on the environmental fate of herbicides in agricultural systems. The research will examine how herbicides persist, move, and transform under field and controlled conditions, with emphasis on herbicide sorption/desorption in soils , degradation kinetics (biotic and abiotic), and transport processes such as leaching, volatility, and runoff. The position includes both laboratory and field-scale experime...

PhD opportunity at Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CZU Prague) , Department of Environmental Geosciences, in the ISOCHROME project on chromium transformation in the soil-water-plant continuum . The project is funded by the Czech Science Foundation–FWF and involves collaboration with the University of Vienna and the Czech Geological Survey . The research focuses on developing Cr stable isotopes as tracers of transformation in soils, including redox processes, mobilization, plant uptake,...

PhD position in fire impacts on terrestrial carbon cycling at the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL (ETH Domain), with enrollment as a PhD student at ETH Zurich . The project is part of the recently funded SNSF FIRE project, which studies how wildfires affect carbon cycling , transit times , and carbon sources across the critical zone from soil to groundwater and laterally. The work is interdisciplinary and includes collaborators in Switzerland and the USA. Rese...
