Role: Research Technician (Net Zero Grazing Systems)
Location: Rothamsted Research, North Wyke, Devon
Do you have a passion for sustainable agriculture and aren't afraid of a little mud?
Rothamsted Research is looking for a technician to join our team at North Wyke. This isn't your average lab job. You'll be at the heart of a pioneering net-zero experiment, exploring how cattle grazing and deep-rooted pastures can save our soils and our planet.
What You'll Do
Be the field scientist: Collect vital soil, water, herbage and manure samples.
Be the Stockman: Move cattle and manage smart grazing systems.
Be the lab technician: Prepare samples prior to lab analysis
Be the Analyst: Turn raw field data into impactful research figures.
Why North Wyke? Work at a cutting edge research farm in the heart of Devon. If you're as comfortable with a rising-plate meter as you are with a spreadsheet and happy to put on a lab coat, we want to hear from you.
