We are looking for a PhD candidate: Modelling non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture
- dr.ir. GH (Gerard) Ros
- Onderzoeker
The Earth Systems and Global Change Group at Wageningen University and Research invites applications for a PhD position (4 years) in “Modelling non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture” starting in September 2026.
This PhD project aims to advance monitoring, reporting, verification (MRV) systems and mitigation strategies for reducing agricultural GHG emissions by systematically evaluating and improving the accuracy, effectiveness, efficiency, and usability of both established and emerging MRV tools, as part of an exciting HORIOZON project entitled MARVELA. The research will focus on key agricultural practices, including animal husbandry, manure management, livestock feeding and grazing, soil tillage, fertilizer application, and liming, across diverse pedo-climatic zones and farming systems. By adopting a holistic, systems-oriented perspective, this project will generate harmonized metrics that enable consistent, transparent, and comparable assessments across regions and practices, while simultaneously providing new scientific insights to inform the development and implementation of robust mitigation measures for the achievement of climate neutrality goals.
Are you interested? You can apply up to and including 9 October 2026. Find more information in the vacancy description.
