Ready to launch your career in agricultural research and development?

Join one of South Australia's leading farming systems groups for a hands-on, full-time internship focused on mixed farming systems, drought resilience, and applied agronomy research.

MacKillop Farm Management Group (MFMG) is offering a 12-month paid internship designed to provide you with invaluable experience across both grains and livestock systems in the renowned Limestone Coast region.

MacKillop Farm Management Group (MFMG), the farming systems group based in the medium and high rainfall zone of the Limestone Coast of South Australia (SA) has extensive experience in delivering agricultural research, development and extension throughout the Limestone Coast of SA and beyond.

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Kickstart your career in agricultural RD&E with a trusted organisation.

  • Earn a competitive salary while building your future in agriculture.

As an Intern, You Will:

Develop a strong professional network of:

  • Leading growers and producers

  • Industry researchers

  • Regional advisors

  • Work closely with the SARDI Agronomy team at Naracoorte

Build your skills in:

  • Project planning and management

  • Research communication and farmer engagement

  • Understand the operational role of a dynamic farming systems group

What We're Looking For:

  • Completed studies in Agricultural Science (or about to) or equivalent in the past five years

  • Passion for agricultural research and a drive to make a difference in farming communities

  • High levels of written and verbal communication, able to write project plans, accurate reports and documents that meet audience needs and contain the necessary information to achieve their purpose and articulate verbally to stakeholders

  • Ability to adapt, manage time effectively, and prioritise work

  • Current Australian work rights and driver's licence

  • Willingness to live and work in Naracoorte, based at the SARDI office
