We are looking for a postdoc to work with us on projects that relate to soil carbon cycling in agricultural systems as affected by various management practices, especially the contribution of cover crops. The work also involves the effect of soil carbon on crop productivity and resilience (yield stability) to climate change. The duties include analysis of empirical data from long-term field experiments and national soil inventories as well as application of soil carbon models.

We are excited to share the video of the Introductory Webinar for the Qinisa Project held on June 19, 2024. The Qinisa Project is a ground-breaking regional initiative aimed at improving the collaboration and coordination of agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) research across Southern Africa. By networking research activities and aligning national and regional programs, the project seeks to foster low-emission, climate-resilient agricultural food systems.

Watch the Introductory Webinar to learn more about the Qinisa Project, explore opportunities for enhancing research collaboration, and discover ways you can get involved.

The Nitrogen Flagship (N flagship) was implemented by the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA) for the period 2022-2027. The aim of this flagship is to help countries to improve their national inventories reporting under the Paris Agreement, by developing Tier 2 (reflecting local soil and climate conditions) and Tier 3 (modelling based) emission factors for the use of N fertiliser, relevant for the estimation and reporting of direct N₂O emissions from soils.
