Vacancies

SAFER PROJECT

We are recruiting a postdoc and a PhD position as part of the SAFER project which will look at the expansion of agroecology in Europe. These positions will be focussed on measuring biodiversity (including pollinators, natural enemies, soil organisms) and ecosystem services (e.g. pollination, pest control, decomposition etc) in a landscape scale design with varying amounts of agroecological solutions at the local and landscape scale. This will take place in the Irish Living Lab in Co. Kildare. Both positions will also work closely with European partners.

PROPOLLSOIL PROJECT

ProPollSoil is a pan-European project that aims to enhance understanding of the relationship between soil health and soil-dependent insect pollinators, funded by Horizon Europe. We are recruiting a postdoc to work on pan-European monitoring of soils and soil dependent pollinators, and with Case Study Areas to design experiments to test impacts of soil management on pollinators. We are also recruiting a PhD student to investigate impacts of pesticide residues in soils on soil-dependent pollinators.
