Postdoctoral Researcher - Social Science Perspective

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join our team at SLU, focusing on the social science aspects of agribiologicals research. As part of the EU-funded project inSALSA, this role will contribute to enhancing the adoption of agricultural biologicals in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The project involves investigating farmer attitudes and preferences through 'living labs' in Kenya and South Africa. The living labs will integrate social scientific research with natural scientific research to promote the use of biologicals in combating pests.

About the Project Team
  • The project team will consist of researchers from various disciplines.
  • The team will be led by experienced researchers with expertise in social and natural scientific research.
Your Role

As a postdoc, you will work closely with the project team to collect and analyze social scientific data. 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.
