(01) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title:  Postdoc researcher ‘Innovation ecosystem alignment challenges and opportunities for enacting the Dutch circular agrifood and protein transition missions’

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher who is interested to work on collaboration challenges in the context of the transformation towards circular agriculture. Within so-called ‘mission-oriented innovation systems’ which work on transformative missions such as digital transformation, regenerative agriculture, and the protein transition, regional emerging innovation ecosystems and their network facilitators like Foodvalley NL,  TOP.BV and Oost.NL  play key roles. These regional innovation ecosystems are faced with the challenge of alignment between key actors and scalability of innovations to enact missions.

To identify innovation ecosystem alignment and scalability challenges and opportunities, it is essential to unpack the collaboration dynamics in the diverse regional innovation ecosystems connected to the circular agrifood and protein transition missions. As regional innovation ecosystems need to be economically viable on the one hand and achieve societal mission goals on the other hand, this might result in tensions to innovation ecosystem functionality and health.

Hence, extensive, and detailed investigation of innovation ecosystems and their dynamics in terms of enacting the circular agrifood and protein transition missions is essential for 1) diagnosing the root causes of innovation ecosystem collaboration challenges in view of enacting missions and 2) identifying opportunities and solutions to resolve these challenges.

Deadline : 1 April 2024

(02) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc summary/title: Postdoc position for Amsterdam Social Networks, Health and Resiliency project

Are you interested in working with Amsterdam community groups on social cohesion, urban food systems, and resiliency? Would you like to work as part of an interdisciplinary team working on systems perspectives in health promotion?  If yes, then we have the perfect opportunity for you! 

The Health & Society Group at Wageningen University is offering a two-year Postdoc position as part of the project, “The Amsterdam Social Network Interventions for Health Simulator (HANS): Building the evidence base to improve the resiliency and health of Amsterdam residents”.

In this role, you will collaborate with Amsterdam community groups as well as researchers at WUR and the University Medical Center Amsterdam.

Your main responsibility will be to undertake community-based, mixed-methods research that tackles the challenge of community participation and intervention approaches. Findings will inform your own work and contribute to the development of a simulation model for community network interventions. More specifically, as a Postdoc researcher, you will help lead the community-based research and co-design process for understanding how social networks inform community actions to improve the diets, health, and resiliency of Amsterdam residents. (Participatory) community-based research is central to health promotion, and this Postdoc will allow you to gain this important experience, in collaboration with stakeholders and citizens in Amsterdam.

Deadline : 1 April 2024

(03) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc position on spatial transcriptomics of feeding cells induced by plant parasitic nematodes

The Laboratory of Nematology at Wageningen University and Research is  seeking  a highly motivated and goal-oriented postdoctoral candidate with expertise in next-generation sequencing approaches, bioinformatics, and plant biology. The successful candidate will  join a highly innovative, interdisciplinary, and collaborative project aimed at unraveling the mechanisms underlying the initiation and development of feeding cells induced by parasitic nematodes in plants

You will use state-of-the-art functional genomics methods such as spatial transcriptomics and single-cell mRNA sequencing to gain mechanistic insight into the initiation and development of feeding cells induced by parasitic nematodes, to identify critical steps that can be used to block feeding site formation to combat nematode infection.

Deadline : 25 March 2024
