Ph.D. project on "Operational modelling of the nitrogen balance of oil palm plantations to reduce uncertainty in Life Cycle Assessment. Case study in Sumatra, Indonesia"
Ph.D. 3-year contract starting in September 2014, at Cirad, Montpellier, France
The objective of the Ph.D. project is to improve the accuracy of LCA on palm oil systems through the improvement of the modelling of field Nr-emissions. This modelling must be consistent (accounting for the whole N-balance along the whole perennial cycle), sensitive to local conditions and practices, and easily implementable. Hence, the main pursued track will be to develop an operational model, such as an agro-environmental indicator, and to analyse the propagation of its uncertainty along the LCA characterisation pathways.
Applicants should possess a university degree at MSc level in Agricultural or Environmental Sciences with an interest in biophysical modelling and uncertainty analysis. Applicants should be motivated to combine biophysical modelling at ecosystem level and LCA assessment. Proficiency in English (both spoken and written) is required, as well as good communication skills (oral and in writing).
Candidates should send a resume, motivation letter and references in English (per E-mail with acknowledgment) to :
Cécile BESSOU.
