Agroscope in Zurich, Switzerland offers 2 PhD positions within a European project on agrobiodiversity. I would greatly appreciate if you could post the teaser below and the attached advertisement within your network.

 

Oats, hull-less barley, triticale, buckwheat, faba beans and lupin have one thing in common: they are arable crops with numerous positive features in terms of cultivation and nutrition. Despite this, their acreage has declined rapidly. The European project CROPDIVA (Climate Resilient Orphan croPs for increased DIVersity in Agriculture) aims to change that. Agroscope in Zurich, Switzerland, is one of 27 partner institutions on board. Within the work package ‘Diversified Cropping Systems’, Agroscope offers 2 PhD positions (paid, 4 years) to conduct research on diseases, pests, yield and the processing of oats or hull-less barley in mixed cultivation together with legumes. The students will be enrolled at the ETHZ in Zurich.
