Post-doctorate in soil science at Unesp in Jaboticabal

The Thematic Project “Use of remote sensing technologies, modeling and productivity maps to increase efficiency in nitrogen fertilization in sugarcane” has a Post-Doctoral Fellowship from FAPESP. Registration goes until Tuesday (06/12).

The scholarship holder will work in the Department of Agricultural Production Sciences at the Faculty of Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences at the Universidade Estadual Paulista (FCAV-Unesp), in Jaboticabal. The project presents an integrated approach of precision agriculture techniques with models based on calibrated processes and remote sensing to simulate the impact of sugarcane management at the field and watershed scale.

The candidate must have a doctorate in soil science; experience with research into spatial variability in soil and crop attributes; and experience in crop modeling.

The documents required for registration are: CV; cover letter with the required prerequisites; and two letters of reference. They must be sent to professor José Eduardo Corá by email b>jose.cora@unesp.br.
