The James Hutton Institute

Country flag

United Kingdom

This PhD project in crop science and plant science explores how barley roots adapt to low-nitrogen conditions and how crop nitrogen-use efficiency can be improved. The research addresses the need to reduce fertiliser requirements while supporting more sustainable agricultural systems and responding to climate change and environmental pollution. Based at the International Barley Hub at The James Hutton Institute , the project connects fundamental plant biology with practical agricultural impact. ...

About this position

University College Cork is seeking a postdoctoral researcher in soil ecology to join the Microbiome and Soil Health Lab in the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences. The researcher will 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 across Europe to develop practical strategies for regenerating soil health, strengthening crop resilience and reducing the environmental impact of farming. Its network of test sites spans Denmark, Finland, France, Hungary, Italy and Portugal, representing diverse European climate and soil regions.

The project examines organic and conventional farming systems and responds to challenges including drought, nutrient leaching, low productivity, weed pressure and declining soil fertility. Research activities include the co-design and field testing of biodiversity-based innovations such as cover crops, microbial biostimulants, compost, biochar and digital tools. The overall aim is to develop regenerative farming approaches that are scalable, economically viable and suitable for real-farm conditions.

Within Work Package 2, “Harnessing soil-microbiota interactions,” the postdoctoral researcher will focus on assessing soil biodiversity and soil health across the project’s test sites. The role offers a research environment centred on soil ecology, soil microbiomes, agricultural biodiversity and crop resilience, with collaboration across an international European consortium.

Informal inquiries may be directed to Dr. Israel Ikoyi in the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences and Sustainability Institute.

Funding details

This is a 28-month, fixed-term, whole-time postdoctoral position. The salary is €47,273–€53,925 per year on the IUA PD1 Research Salary Scale, with placement determined according to public-sector pay policy. The position is funded through the Horizon Europe SoilRes project.

What's required

Applicants must meet the selection criteria detailed in the information package for the postdoctoral position. The role requires expertise relevant to soil ecology, soil biodiversity, soil health and/or soil-microbiota interactions, with capacity to contribute to assessment activities across SOILRES test sites. Garda vetting and/or an international police clearance check may form part of the selection process.

How to apply

Review the full information package and selection criteria at the University College Cork vacancy portal, then submit an application online via https://ore.ucc.ie/. Apply before 12 noon Irish Local Time on 20 November 2026; late applications will not be accepted. Application-process queries should be sent to [email protected], quoting the job title.
