Offer Description

The Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Engineering and Bioeconomy is a pioneer and a driver of bioeconomy research. We create the scientific foundation to transform agricultural, food, industrial and energy systems into a comprehensive bio-based circular economy. We develop and integrate techniques, processes and management strategies, effectively converging technologies to intelligently crosslink highly diverse bioeconomic production systems and to control them in a knowledge-based, adaptive and largely automated manner. We conduct research in dialogue with society - knowledge-motivated and application-inspired.

 

Subject to funding approval, the following position is to be filled for the three-year main phase of the joint project "Diversification of cropping systems for the one health of soils, plants and humans (DCropS4OneHealth)", which has been applied for within the framework of the BMBF call "Biodiversity and Health"

 

Project coordinator (m/f/d) (50 %)

 

In the field of agrobiodiversity, the DCropS4OneHealth project aims to identify causal relationships between how the diversification of crop production systems affects biodiversity in the agricultural landscape, health-relevant properties of field produce and human health.

Your professional qualification profile

• Very good university degree in agricultural sciences with specialisation in agronomy or in biology or environmental sciences with specialisation in agroecology and agrobiodiversity, ideally with PhD or MSc/Diploma with experience in scientific work
• Strong interest in interdisciplinary collaboration at the interface of crop production, agricultural engineering, ecology, microbiology, biochemistry and the application of digital tools, especially artificial intelligence
• Strong interest in transdisciplinary collaboration with practice partners from agriculture and landscape management
• Very good written and spoken German and English skills
