About this position

University College Cork invites applications for a 28-month postdoctoral position in Soil Ecology within the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences. The researcher will join the Microbiome and Soil Health Lab and contribute to the Horizon Europe-funded SOILRES project, “SoilRes: Multi-Faceted Biodiversity Integration for A Healthy Soil and Resilient Crop Management.”

SOILRES brings together agricultural scientists, farmers, and innovators to develop practical approaches for regenerating soil health, strengthening crop resilience, and reducing the environmental impact of farming. The project spans test sites in Denmark, Finland, France, Hungary, Italy, and Portugal, representing diverse European climate and soil conditions.

The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to Work Package 2, Harnessing soil-microbiota interactions. The work will focus on assessing soil biodiversity and soil health across the project’s test sites, helping evaluate biodiversity-based innovations in both organic and conventional farming systems.

Research themes include cover crops, microbial biostimulants, compost, biochar, and digital tools for sustainable agriculture. The wider project addresses drought, nutrient leaching, low productivity, weed pressure, declining soil fertility, biodiversity loss, and climate-related pressures on food production.

The successful researcher will work in an interdisciplinary and international research environment connecting soil microbiome science with field-based agricultural innovation and regenerative farming strategies.
