Research Assistant in Crop Science

We are looking to recruit a Research Assistant with a research profile in crop science to join our research team.

The University of Lincoln is working towards an exciting project generating nitrogen datasets for LINCAM CERES enterprise collaboration. The project seeks to find ways to improve nitrogen use efficiency without loss of yield in contrasting environments across the country. The research objective is to generate a dataset for winter wheat to predict optimal nitrogen requirement based on local environmental conditions and growth stage.

The key purpose of the post is to collect crop data and process samples on several trials across the country. You will liaise with PI and PDRAs of the project and should be motivated to assist the field sampling campaign of the project. You will be expected to have experience in field trials collecting samples from crops but ideally wheat. Experience in handling and analysing crop samples is essential (preferably wheat). Familiarity with field data collection is desirable.

Applicants should have a degree in crop science/ agronomy or any related discipline. This opportunity allows you to engage in national collaboration within an ambitious team, to work in wheat research.

If you would like further information or an informal discussion about this exciting opportunity, please contact Dr Reshmi (Oorbessy) Gaju at ogaju@lincoln.ac.uk.
