The position is offered for a 3-year period of employment. We are specifically interested in a candidate who has expertise in sustainable production of field-grown vegetables and crops. Development of this research area is a focal point and the candidate’s scientific competences are expected to contribute to further strengthening the research activities within the Department of Food Science. The position is aligned to the Science Team of Plant, Food & Sustainability. Current research is focused on field- and controlled environment grown horticultural crop physiology, cropping systems and management practices, including plant growth and soil fertility, fertilisation strategies, peat replacement, use of compost and cover crops, including conventional and organic farming, using measures such as root growth, nutrient use efficiency and soil enzyme activity. The Science Team activities also focus on sustainable fruit and legume production, phenotyping and stress physiology.
The successful candidate should have documented research experience within production of field-grown vegetables or agricultural crops, and master state-of-the-art experimental and analytical methods in agronomy and agroecological research.
You are expected to have research experience within two or more of the following areas:
- Growth and physiology of vegetable crops
- Sustainable cropping systems for field-grown crops
- Effects of crop production on climate and environment
- Plant nutrition and fertilization in organic field production
- Soil fertility, carbon and nitrogen cycles
- Organic farming
Collaboration with industry, growers and advisory services, and the Danish Government is a natural part of the position.
