The ClimateGrass project is aimed at developing dairy crop rotations as a cost-effective measure for mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, including assessment of soil C storage in ley-arable rotations. The EJP SOIL project is aimed at developing and implementing climate-smart sustainable management of agricultural soils. In addition, the successful candidate will contribute to research-based public sector consultancy on nitrogen and C management in the Department.

  In ClimateGrass and EJP SOIL, you will work experimentally with assessment of soil C storage exploiting archived soil samples as well as samples taken from running experiments.

All applicants will be notified whether or not their applications have been sent to an expert assessment committee for evaluation.

Once the recruitment process is completed a final letter of rejection is sent to the deselected applicants, including the main considerations emphasized during the selection process.
