Postdoctoral Researcher for Gaseous Emission from Fertilizers Full-time

Postdoctoral Researcher for Gaseous Emission from Fertilizers

Join a dynamic and hands-on research team investigating greenhouse gas and ammonia emission from manure systems. The work combines field experiments, laboratory analysis, and modelling to produce science that can change practice and reduce the climate and environmental footprint of agriculture. We are searching for a postdoctoral researcher for a 2-year full-time position, starting 1 November, 2026.

This is a 2-year position from 1 November 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter.

We invite applications for a 2-year postdoctoral position. The successful candidate will lead field campaigns and data analysis to quantify ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions after fertilization. The role combines fieldwork, laboratory assessment, operation and maintenance of gas measurement systems, and integration of results into emission models and mitigation assessments.

Key responsibilities:

• Design and conduct field experiments.
• Operate and maintain gas measurement equipment and flux chambers.
• Process, analyze, and visualize large data sets using Matlab, R, Python, or similar tools.
• Contribute to scientific papers, project reports, and stakeholder outreach.
• Collaborate with farmer, technicians, and research colleagues.

Applicants should hold a PhD in a relevant field (e.g. environmental sciences, chemical or environmental engineering, or agroecology).

Proven experience with gas flux measurements and instrumentation (e.g. chamber methods, or other techniques).

Proven experience with validation of flux measurement methods (e.g., chamber methods, or other techniques).

Strong data processing skills and experience with MatLab, R, Python, or similar.

Experience with planning and executing short and long-term field measurement campaigns.

Experience with managing other personnel in connection with execution of field measurement campaigns.

Good written and spoken English.

Valid driving license.

The place of work is Gustav Wieds Vej 10D, 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark, and the area of employment is Aarhus University, Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering.

Applications must be received no later than 24 July 2026.
