The Division Crop Science / Agronomy at the Department of Crop Sciences at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen is looking to fill the position of a

This position is a full-time position (regular working hours currently 39.8 hours per week) which should be filled as soon as possible.

The Agronomy Division is performing research to increase the productivity of crop production systems sustainably while reducing the environmental footprint of the agricultural production. Another research focus is to gain improved understanding of impacts of climate change and climate variability on field crops. The group is developing and applying crop growth models and methods to process and analyze complex geospatial data sets. Experiments in the field and in greenhouses will be designed and analyzed. The successful candidate will contribute to this research but also establish an own scientific agenda with high international visibility. Creating a complementary research cluster by attracting own funds is expected while the contribution to teaching in bachelor and master courses (4 SWS) is required.
The successful candidate will hold a highly qualified PhD in Agronomy, Crop Science, Agroecology or related disciplines. Very good command of the English language and a proven track record in international scientific publishing are required.
