We seek a Research Fellow to join us to interrogate data collected in EW field trials being conducted on croplands in Brazil.

You will work as a member of the Project Earthstone team and should have considerable experience in interrogating geochemical datasets and statistical analysis. Well-developed self and time-management skills and the ability to communicate clearly, both orally and in writing are essential.
