Overview Of Role
Do you have skills and experience in field sampling? Are you passionate about more environmentally friendly farming? We are looking for a field technician with a background in biology or agriculture to join a team working on a new project called "One Crop Health". The project aims to find ways of growing crops that reduces the need for pesticides. You will be sampling soils, plant and insects from farmers' fields across the United Kingdom. The data you help collect will help find ways of farming more sustainably. Although you will be based in the Rothamsted Agroecology group at Harpenden in the UK, One Crop Health is an international project with partners in Denmark. You will have the opportunity, therefore, to travel to Denmark and learn from their experience.  We are looking for someone who:
  • has a passion for the environment and an interest in sustainable farming.
  • has experience of sampling soils, plants or insects in the field.
  • enjoys working outdoors and is willing to travel.
You will have some existing experience of field sampling but full training will be given to build your skill set. As well as benefitting from being part of a large research project, you will also interact with some of the most innovative farmers in the UK . You will have the opportunity, therefore, to work with and learn from the regenerative farming community. The Agroecology group at Rothamsted is a supportive and friendly working environment that provides lots of opportunity for professional development.
 
This is a 5 year fixed-term appointment to 31/12/2030 with a salary in the range of £24,225-£26,573 per annum
