    • Communicate regularly with Dr. Peter Graystock and other members of his lab and the Green Revolution team to plan and execute tasks in a timely fashion
    • Maintain Wheat cultivations at Silwood Park
    • Assist with soil and microbe collections and transplants from these cultivated crops
    • Assist with soil sample collections at UK field site visits
    • Record and quality-check sample collections
    • Help maintain and organize laboratory facilities to support the work described above.

    Essential requirements

    Skills essential to the position are:

    • Ability to communicate clearly, collaborate effectively within diverse groups, and deliver progress by mutually agreed deadlines
    • Good proficiency with laboratory tasks (e.g., maintaining sterile practices, using micropipettes, notetaking, sample organisation)
    • Experience growing plants in controlled conditions.

    Preferred candidates may have:

    • An undergraduate degree in ecology, earth/environmental science, geology, or a related field
    • Experience with wheat cultivation
    • Experience with plant-microbe interactions.

    Further Information

    The full-time, fixed term for up to 36 months. You will be based at Silwood Park Campus.

    Candidates are expected to start in June 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.
