    Description

    About the Role

    We are seeking a Farm Sustainability Researcher to join an exciting, rapidly expanding international research project which seeks to reduce the environmental impacts of thousands of farms worldwide using digital tools. You will be part of the HESTIA team, a growing and motivated team of environmental scientists, software developers, and behavioural change specialists. The team is based within the Interdisciplinary Centre for Conservation Science in the Department of Biology and the Oxford Martin School.

    About You

    You will assist on the design and development of benchmarking and advice tools to support farmer decision-making. Your benchmarking and advice tools will form the foundation experimental trials which test whether enabling farmers to quantify their environmental impacts, benchmark against other farmers, and receive advice on how to improve their environmental impacts, affects their attitudes, behaviour and farm sustainability outcomes. You will design these tools by collaborating with an advisory group of farmers, and if desired there will be opportunities to visit farms and collect data. You will have a relevant graduate-level degree, experience researching sustainable farming and the ability to work with farmers. Some travel within Europe will be required for fieldwork.
