PhD opportunity in Soil Science and Digital Agriculture! I am particularly excited to post this PhD position under the project Farm Scan that aims to improve digital agriculture in the area of continuous soil monitoring using decomposable sensor nodes. If interested, please get in touch!

Funded PhD opportunity FarmScan: Real-time data collection for soil monitoring
from decomposable sensors Funded by the Green ERA-HUB on Agri-Food and Biotechnology
through the Irish Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM)
Stipend for scholarship: €25,000 (tax-free) per annum
plus tuition fee contributions of €6,000 p.a.
Project Duration: 4 years
Based at University College Dublin

Enhancing agricultural productivity while minimizing environmental impact is crucial in
the face of global climate challenges. Detailed knowledge of soil conditions, moisture,
nutrients, and pest spread with high spatial resolution can increase agricultural yields
while reducing the need for irrigation, fertilizers, and pesticides. The more farmers
know about their fields, the more targeted and effective actions they can take. Satellite
data provides a good starting point but suffers from poor spatial resolution and limited
data quality. Ground-based sensors are more accurate but require significant effort
for manual deployment and must be recovered at the end of their life. This PhD will
guide the development of decomposable soil sensors by defining the requirements for
optimizing soil functions and soil microbial processes to ensure that the sensor nodes
are designed in a way that supports precision agricultural management. In controlled
environmental chambers at UCD, decomposability in soil will be measured to ensure
that sensor nodes do not negatively impact soil health by assessment of chemical and
biological indicators. In the field, agronomic trials will assess the decomposable
sensors performance in providing real time data collected at field scale for a whole
crop season. Field trials will also assess the lifespan of the sensors and their dynamics
of mass loss and functioning in real field conditions

Requirements: The candidate should have a good primary degree (first or 2.1 Honours) and/or Master’s in Soil Science, Agricultural Science/Environmental Sciences/Geography or related disciplines. They should be prepared to work in a professional manner in a multidisciplinary and multicultural team and engage with collaborators. Candidates should demonstrate the ability to work on laboratory and
field-based experiments, write reports, prepare journal articles, deliver presentations,
work independently and as part of a team. Previous lab experience and publications
in soil science and agronomy are an advantage. Academic English certification is
required.
Awards: The PhD will be conducted under the primary supervision of
Dr. Sharon O’Rourke (https://people.ucd.ie/sharon.orourke1) and Dr. Tamíris da Costa
(https://people.ucd.ie/tamiris.dacosta) at UCD School of Biosystems and Food

Applications are invited for the RACE.ED Stuart Hall Foundation Fellowship from postdoctoral scholars working in any area of the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences in 2025-26, although we especially welcome applications that contribute to our 2025-26 theme, Making A Nation by focusing on post-imperial national identities. While applicants are not required to be limited solely to focusing on the work of Stuart Hall, the proposal should display a meaningful engagement with his wide-ranging repertoire, either in theory, method or topic.

RACE.ED is a cross-university network concerned with race, racialization and decolonial studies from a multidisciplinary perspective. Working across different traditions of thought, research, and teaching commitments, RACE.ED is made up of more than one hundred colleagues across the three colleges of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, and Science and Engineering at the University of Edinburgh.

The Stuart Hall Foundation is a charity committed to public education and addressing urgent questions of race and inequality in culture and society. It works collaboratively to forge create partnerships with universities and arts organisations in order to build a network of scholars, fellows and artists-in-residence.

IASH provides an enviable location in one of the world’s most intellectually inspiring cities, together with a dynamic network of international connections. Home to the Scottish Enlightenment, Edinburgh has a rich cultural heritage of scholarship and creativity that continues to the present day. In this haven of libraries and archives, galleries and music venues – all set amid iconic architecture – IASH helps scholars to take the humanities beyond campus to engage the public and work with organisations in a variety of sectors.

The Institute welcomes visiting researchers from across the world. Since 1970, over 1,500 Fellows have stepped through our doors. Up to 30 researchers are in residence at any one time in our amazing – and eclectic – nineteenth-century building just on the edge of the University’s central campus, boasting views of the Meadows. From more than 65 countries, IASH Fellows form a global alumnae/i community, and many career-long connections begin at the Institute.

A webinar was offered on Monday 9 December for postdoctoral scholars interested in applying for IASH Fellowships for academic year 2025-26. The deadline for most applications is 25 April 2025, so this session allowed time to ask questions and prepare an application.

Representatives from some of our partners spoke about the programmes, and IASH staff gave insights into the facilities and funding available, as well as hints and tips for crafting a successful application.

The webinar recording is available here.

What does the RACE.ED Stuart Hall Foundation Fellowship offer?

IASH hosts a lively scholarly community of visiting fellows. It is a supportive environment for postdoctoral researchers, while also offering networking opportunities with successful mid-career and eminent senior scholars. The Institute occupies a historic building with private courtyard and leafy views – perfect for uninterrupted thinking, reading and writing. Yet there is also plenty of opportunity to socialise and share ideas.

In short, a 2025-2026 RACE.ED Stuart Hall Foundation Fellowship provides:

  • Research visit at the University of Edinburgh for three to ten months
  • Bursary of £2,000 per month, plus grants for visa fees if required
  • Dedicated office space at IASH, University e-mail and library access
  • An allocated University mentor from the RACE.ED Network and/or a School within the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences
  • Weekly Fellows’ Lunch to build community
  • Collegial work-in-progress seminar series for testing new ideas
  • Calendar of engaging events at the Institute and College

Who can apply?

We warmly welcome applications from postdoctoral scholars from around the world. Selection will be subject to the immigration rules governing the UK.  Applicants must have a suitable project or study to undertake which engages meaningfully with the works of Stuart Hall, although it does not need to focus solely on Hall’s ideas – for 2025-26, we especially welcome applications that contribute to our 2025-26 theme, Making A Nation by focusing on post-imperial national identities.

Applicants must have been awarded a doctorate at the time of application, and normally within the last seven years (you must be able to produce a transcript, testamur, or a letter of completion/eligibility to graduate as part of your application), or to have published work of doctoral character and quality. You should not have held a previous Fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities. Those who have held temporary and/or short-term appointments are eligible to apply.

BACKGROUND
Muslim communities in many developing countries that are not members
of IsDB generally lag behind in education, especially in technical education
and professional specialization. This is an obstacle that must be overcome
if the communities are to improve their socioeconomic conditions, preserve
their cultural and religious identities and make meaningful contributions to
the development of their countries.
To respond to their development needs, IsDB established the Scholarship
Program for Muslim Communities (SPMC) which was launched in 1983 with
53 students from India, Sri Lanka and Kenya.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
The program is intended to be for academically meritorious but financially needy Muslim students with a strong desire to engage in social services and community development. They must also be able to
meet the following eligibility criteria:
In need of financial assistance without which study may have to stop
Maximum age of 24 years.
Not an IsDB staff member or Executive Director, his/her alternate, and/or staff of any type of appointment (including temporary and consultant) of the IsDB Group nor a close relative by blood or adoption, with the term “close relative” defined as mother, father, sister, half-sister, brother, half-brother, son,
daughter, aunt, uncle, niece, or nephew.
Completed senior secondary education (or the equivalent of approximately 12 years of education) with good grades in major science subjects.
Provided evidence of language proficiency in the university medium of instruction as relevant. The language proficiency must be supported by a document or certificate, e.g., for English, by a recognized language certificate such as TOEFL or IELTS or by having passed the required level test conducted such as by the British Council or equivalent system in French or other languages.
Provided certified English or French translation of all documents in case they are initially in other languages.
Be medically fit and willing to undergo medical examination after selection.
Having secured admission in one of the disciplines covered under the program at a recognized college or university in their own country is desirable.
Not living in a country other than his/her home country.
Not a beneficiary.
NOTES:
The IsDB scholarship may only supplement, and shall not duplicate, any other source of financial support the applicant might have. If the applicant is awarded a scholarship, he/she must inform IsDB at that time if he/she has other sources of scholarship funding.
Sending the application or getting admission by the academic institution does not mean that the applicant has been accepted for a scholarship. Accordingly, the applicant should not take any action concerning his/ her current employment or otherwise until notified by IsDB of having been awarded a
scholarship.
