The Columbia University Earth Institute Center for Climate Systems Research (CCSR) is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Scientist to work in the area of global crop modeling and climate change at its Morningside campus in New York City. The Postdoctoral Research Scientist will be part of an international team working to improve the responses of global crop models to atmospheric geoengineering scenarios and other perturbations including nuclear conflict or volcanic eruptions.

The Crop Science Group within the Institute of Crop Science and Research Conservation (INRES) at the University of Bonn is offering a Post-Doc position (E13 TV-L / 100%) for a period of up to 3 years. The Crop Science group at University of Bonn has a strong focus on developing dynamic, process based models for crop and agroecosystem management. The models are used among others to predict impacts of climate or management changes on crop production as well as eco-system services provision.

The Social Sciences Unit of the Flanders Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (ILVO), is looking for a PhD candidate (4-year) in “participatory agent-based modelling of food system changes towards a circular economy”.

The PhD candidate will be employed primarily on the European H2020 project RUSTICA (ID-101000527: 2021-2024). RUSTICA aims to foster the technical validation, demonstration and implementation of bio-based fertiliser and soil improvement production techniques[…]

The Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research in Chinese Academy of Sciences (http://english.igsnrr.cas.cn/) is seeking applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher. The successful candidate will be part of the Key Lab of Land Surface Pattern and Simulation team of CAS, and research interests including climate change, agricultural phenology and food security.

The University of Southern with funding from the Cooperative Research Centre for High Performance Soils (https://soilcrc.com.au/) is offering one PhD scholarship that will contribute to the analysis, modelling and diagnosis of soil constraints across Australian farming systems. The aim of this project will be develop a soil constraint diagnoses framework that brings together biophysical crop and soil modelling with statistical and artificial intelligence approaches.
