  • Request to Share Job Opportunity within the DSSAT Network
    by Hicham Fatnassi on December 18, 2024 at 8:46 am

    Dear colleagues,I hope this email finds you well.Would it be possible for you to share the following job opportunity within the DSSAT network? We are currently offering a permanent research fellow position in the PSH Research Unit (Plants and Cropping Systems in Horticulture) at INRAE, France's National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food, and Environment, located in Avignon, France. The position focuses on resource sharing (light, water, nutrients) in heterogeneous horticultural canopies with strong spatial structuring.This heterogeneity can arise from various factors implemented in agroecological production systems, such as species or variety mixtures, companion plants, or market gardening.

  • PhD Opportunity in Predictive Farming at UniSQ, Australia
    by Brian Collins on December 5, 2024 at 1:34 am

    University of Southern Queensland is offering a prestigious PhD scholarship to transform agriculture through AI-driven weather forecasts and crop models. This project aims to optimise farm productivity, resource use, and sustainability.This project will investigate artificial intelligence (AI) to improve weather forecasts and use crop models for making better farming decisions. The expected outcome is protocols for integrating AI-enhanced weather forecasts and crop models into farm management and planning tools. This is expected to result in farmers making more informed decisions that optimise resource use, boost crop yields, and enhance overall farm productivity and profitability while minimising environmental impact. Scholarship [...]
