Postdoctoral fellowship on modelling crop water and nitrogen dynamics under drought and varied nitrogen levels
Københavns Universitet
Crop growth and yield is determined by a range of meteorological and soil variables and how these interact temporally. Among those, water and nitrogen (N) are often the key determinants of growth, their availability to plants is influenced by irrigation and N-fertilization management. In addition, the response of crop to soil water and N status is modified by interaction with climatic conditions, i.e., air temperature and humidity. Exploring the effects of these abiotic factors on crop and unravelling their dependencies requires concurrently monitoring soil/plant water status and plant physiological responses and growth/yield performance. This knowledge is essential for optimizing irrigation and N-fertilization management in sustainable crop production, supporting the green transition in agriculture.We are looking for a postdoc candidate with background in crop ecophysiology, soil science and plant nutrition, and plant phenomics. Relevant experience includes characterization and modelling of plant water relations, leaf gas exchange, N uptake and partitioning, N-use efficiency and water-use efficiency.Skills
We are searching for a highly motivated and enthusiastic candidate, who should have:
The postdoc’s duties will include research as well as grant writing and teaching. The post may also include performance of other duties.The successful applicant will join the group, which specializes in the abiotic stress resilience in crops, stress physiology of photosynthesis, water and nutrients use efficiency of crops in a changing climate. The postdoc will work on a new project on precision agriculture co-funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. This is conducted in close collaboration with Aarhus University’s Climate and Water section and partners from other European countries working on model scaling up and validation based on data collected from field trials.The Crop Stress Physiology group is a part of the , which hosts eight research groups working on dissecting the interaction between G(enotype),M(anagement) and E(nvironment) as the basis of improving crop growth and production of sustainable food, ornamentals, fibre and bioenergy. The section belongs to the , which hosts eight sections spanning from molecular biology to crop science and environmental chemistry.
