Uppsala, Uppsala, Sweden SLU Full time

SLU is a leading research institution in soil science, and we are seeking a highly motivated researcher to join our team. The successful candidate will be responsible for conducting experimental and modelling work in the project 'Retention-irrigation system to reduce negative impacts of climate change in agricultural landscapes.'

The researcher will investigate how changes in precipitation patterns affect processes and microorganisms controlling nutrient accumulation and loss in soils. They will also measure the impact of retention-irrigation systems on nutrient losses to streams (nitrate and phosphate) and air (nitrous oxide).

Additionally, the researcher will predict the ability of retention-irrigation systems to mitigate effects of future drought and flooding, and nutrient losses in agricultural catchments. The work will involve field and laboratory measurements of nutrient transformations and losses, measurements of hydrology and water quality, and hydrochemical modelling of the effect of droughts and flooding on current and future nutrient losses in three study catchments in Sweden.

A PhD degree in environmental sciences or a related field with a good understanding of soil and aquatic ecosystems, biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon, and human impacts on hydrology and water quality is required. Previous experience with hydrological and water quality measurements is necessary, and practical experience with high-frequency water quality monitoring will be particularly useful.
