Research Position in Agricultural Systems Science

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 (SGR). This opportunity addresses a significant investment for the grains industry made by the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC).

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 candidate will undertake both desktop and field activities, including data management and analysis of statistically designed field trials, and will be responsible for managing a trial located at The University of Adelaide's Roseworthy campus. The candidate will regularly liaise with farming systems groups and consulting agronomists who are part of the project.

Key responsibilities include:

  • 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 relative to opportunity

The University of Adelaide offers a unique research environment with opportunities to undertake original research and work with growers and agronomists in the grains industry to co-create innovative tools and solutions that will drive real-world impact through improved farm profitability and sustainability.

We are committed to providing a working environment that embraces and values diversity and inclusion. Female applicants, people with a disability, and/or Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who meet the requirements of this position are strongly encouraged to apply.
