Uppsala, Uppsala, Sweden SLU - Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Full time
Postdoctoral Researcher Position at SLU

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU). As part of the EU Biodiversa+ funded project inSALSA, this position will contribute to enhancing the adoption of agricultural biologicals over conventional agrichemicals in smallholder farming in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The project aims to investigate farmer attitudes, needs, and preferences through 'living labs' in Kenya and South Africa. The living labs focus on the use of biologicals to combat pests in tomato and potato, combining social scientific research with natural scientific research and technical development.

About the Project
  • The project involves collaboration with local universities and institutions to coordinate the living labs.
  • The research will be conducted in Kenya and South Africa, with a replication lab in Ethiopia and a capacity building lab in Italy.
Your Role

As a postdoc, you will work in a smaller research group at SLU under the leadership of Prof. Flora Hajdu and Dr. Johanna Bergman-Lodin. Your primary responsibility will be to collect and analyze social scientific data in the living labs and wider communities.

You will need to work independently, with publications planned as joint endeavors. To achieve this, you must be able to understand natural scientific perspectives and collaborate effectively with researchers from other disciplines.
