Double Degree Doctorate Fellowships

GreenFieldData: IoRT Data Management and Analysis for Sustainable Agriculture Project

3-year contract starting September/October 2026

Are you an aspiring researcher ready to drive the digital and green transition in agriculture?

The GreenFieldData project offers an outstanding opportunity to pursue a PhD within a high-calibre international and interdisciplinary network, funded under the prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Networks (Grant agreement ID: 101226371).

• Pillar of Excellence: A High-Level MSCA Joint Doctorate

The "IoRT Data management and analysis for Sustainable Agriculture" (GreenFieldData) project is an initiative of Pillar 1 (Excellence) of Horizon Europe. This ambitious network unites 12 leading academic beneficiaries across 7 EU countries, supported by 24 associated non-academic and academic partners.

By joining this network, you will become part of a highly integrated, inter-sectoral, and international (triple 'i') training environment. Our common goal is to train a new generation of researchers who can provide robust and human-centric solutions to the challenges posed by climate change and socio-economic constraints.

• Exceptional Financial Support for Your PhD

The MSCA Joint Doctorate provides a highly competitive and financially attractive employment package for the entire 36-month duration of the PhD contract:

• Generous Living Allowance: A monthly gross salary contribution
• Mobility Allowance: An additional monthly contribution to cover private mobility-related costs (e.g., relocation, travel)
• Family Allowance: A monthly allowance is also provided, if applicable (researchers with family obligations)

• Double Degree, High-Level Training, and Employability

All 14 Doctoral Candidates will be enrolled in Double Degree Doctorate programmes, guaranteeing joint supervision from at least two prominent international universities, with secondments in industrial partners

The project offers a high-level doctoral training programme, providing a unique toolbox of cutting-edge knowledge and transferable skills essential for maximizing your future employability within research, digital technologies, and agricultural sectors.
