Attention all aspiring scholars and researchers! The Wageningen University & Research, Netherlands has multiple postdoctoral fellowships. Apply to the Wageningen University & Research’s postdoctoral fellowships today and take the first step towards a rewarding and fulfilling academic career.
1. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
Light drives photosynthesis and as such powers life on earth. In the field plants need to cope with constantly changing light conditions. This requires a flexible photosynthetic machinery. Light energy is converted into chemical energy in the thylakoid membrane, composed of lipids, proteins and pigments. The thylakoid structure and organisation can dynamically switch to optimize light harvesting and maintain efficient photosynthesis under different light intensities and spectra. At present it is unclear how the thylakoid structure is regulated and which factors control the changes in its organisation and architecture.
Application Deadline: June 14th 2023
2. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The postdoc will be supervised by an interdisciplinary team consisting of social scientists providing input on the governance of transition pathways, and on indicators for policy, finance and market assurance, as well as natural scientists providing expertise on aquaculture production systems and wider principles of circularity. In addition, the vision will receive input from stakeholders involved in existing platforms such as the newly established Delta Knowledge Centre Zeeland, and the Community of Practice in the North Sea.
Application Deadline: 3 July 2023
3. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
You will develop new, or adapt existing, techniques to measure the amounts of key components in leaves of Hirschfeldia incana and other species that despite having C3 photosynthesis have very high photosynthetic rates. These components will include inter alia rubisco, the cytochrome b6/f complex, the chloroplast ATPase and the reaction centres of PSI and PSII. The methods that will be used to measure these components will include precision in vitro light-induced absorbance changes, chlorophyll fluorescence responses and EPR measurements, in folio biophysical measurements, and biochemical assays. Some of these techniques will require the construction of bespoke instruments.
Application Deadline: June 28th 2023
4. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
We are looking for a researcher that is highly motivated to improve the sustainability of food production systems by analysing, designing and improving information management solutions. You will be working within the research team ‘Digital Innovation in Agri-Food’, which focuses on complex information management issues within the agri-food sector.
Application Deadline: 29 June 2023
5. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
With a long history in mushroom research and embedded within the department of Plant Breeding at WUR, the research of the group revolves around improvements of fungi for food and non-food applications. Close collaboration within WUR and interactions with other academic, international, and commercial partners provide a unique position for the initiation of strategic research and development of key future technologies. In this setting we have a position, with the intention to become permanent, for a research-project leader and developer who is keen on operating at the interface of academics and industry.
Application Deadline: 16 June 2023
PhD Career: What are the Career Option?
6. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The study of protein structure and function is a core activity across the 6 research groups at the Laboratory of Biochemistry of Wageningen University. Proteomics approaches, including those, but not limited to, those based on mass spectrometry (MS), are a core technology used by all our researchers to answer diverse biological questions at the intersection of evolutionary biochemistry, developmental, cellular, structural, and mechano-biology. We see ample opportunities and challenges to bring our proteomics expertise to a new level, by developing new methods for protein identification and quantification with increased sensitivity, for the detection of posttranslational modifications, the resolution of three-dimensional protein structures and whole-protein analysis.
Application Deadline: June 23rd 2023
7. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
As quantitative fisheries scientist you will work within the fisheries advice team on our location in IJmuiden. You will contribute to our work on quantitative fisheries science by participating in or leading projects with a strong focus on fish stock assessment, management strategy evaluation, and the impact of fisheries on the ecosystem. Our team advises the Dutch government and the European Commission on fishing opportunities, management plans and the impact of policy decisions. You will be involved in research and advice activities both nationally and internationally, for example through participation in the scientific activities of ICES and various Regional Fisheries Management Organizations.
Application Deadline: 3 July 2023
8. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
As fisheries data scientist you will work within the fisheries advice team on our location in IJmuiden. You will contribute by processing fisheries data and perform quality assessments which is highly relevant to our work on fish stock assessment and ecosystem based fisheries management related issues. Our team advises the Dutch government and the European Commission on fishing opportunities, management plans and the impact of policy decisions. You will be involved in research and advice activities both nationally and internationally, for example through participation in the scientific activities of ICES and various Regional Fisheries Management Organizations. Finally, we work close together with the fishing industry on innovation of fishing techniques and alternate fisheries strategies.
Application Deadline: 3 July 2023
9. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
We are seeking a researcher who will contribute to exploring the linkages between plant production, climate change, and biodiversity, particularly as they relate to food systems, leaning on sound agronomic research experience and systems thinking. You will be responsible for researching complex societal issues, focusing on agronomy and food systems, and their relationships with planetary boundaries. You work quantitatively and qualitatively.
Application Deadline: 26 June 2023
