Professor in Cropping Systems
1 week ago
Faculty of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences
Department of Crop Production Ecology
This fully funded professorship will be positioned at the Department of Crop Production Ecology, which together with the Department of Ecology, constitute an inspiring research environment at the Ecology Centre on SLU's Uppsala campus.
The Department of Crop Production Ecology develops knowledge on cropping systems by focusing on meeting the demands for quantity and quality of food, feed, and bio-based raw materials in a sustainable way in a changing world. The research addresses challenges relating to increasing demand, climate change, environmental impact and biodiversity loss linked to farming and food systems.
Research and education at the department focus on crop production ecology ranging from the molecular level through the plant, field and farm to the landscape. Current subject areas are cropping systems, crop production, plant ecology, and weed ecology. Research is often carried out in collaboration with other scientific disciplines and with stakeholders to contribute to the development of more sustainable food and farming systems. Teaching is at first and second cycle levels, mainly within programs leading to degrees in agronomy and biology.
The SLU Ecology Centre is a Nordic and European hub for sustainable agriculture, plant protection, nature conservation, wildlife management, insect ecology, and forestry. Our approach is based in the natural sciences in collaboration with subjects within the social sciences and the humanities, creating opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations. The Ecology Centre is part of the Faculty for Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences, where research, education and environmental monitoring and assessment within agriculture and the environment are conducted, with focus on Agenda 2030 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
SLU is one of the largest centres for ecological research in the Nordic countries and offers a dynamic and excellent research environment supported by a modern infrastructure. This includes extensive, modern plant cultivation facilities, four field research stations and more than 60 long term agricultural experiments, including a new large scale, long term landscape experiment. SLU's cross-faculty coordinated actions provide support for multi- and inter-disciplinary research.
