Research Agronomist Opportunity

We are seeking a highly motivated researcher to join our dynamic multidisciplinary team working towards identifying the next frontier in dryland farming systems in Australia's Southern Grains Region.

The successful candidate will contribute to generating insights into sustainable and profitable farming systems from crop rotation trials being undertaken across South Australia and Victoria. These trials will evaluate system performance metrics beyond production, including financial performance, soil health, GHG emissions, disease risk, and microbiome diversity.

The successful candidate will undertake both desktop and field activities, including data management and analysis of statistically designed field trials, fertiliser application, soil sampling, and a range of plant assessments. The candidate will regularly liaise with farming systems groups and consulting agronomists who are part of the project.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Planning and managing agronomic/farming system field trials
  • Undertaking soil and plant sampling and assessment
  • Data analysis of field trials using widely applied software packages or computing languages
  • Knowledge of dryland farming systems and ability to interact with growers and agronomists
  • Publication record in scholarly journals

The University of Adelaide is a uniquely rewarding workplace, offering a career environment that is outstanding in its size, breadth, and quality of education and research programs. The University is committed to providing a working environment that embraces and values diversity and inclusion.

The Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology is a multidisciplinary hub of cutting-edge teaching and research, actively partnering with innovative industries to solve problems of global significance.
