We seek a Research Fellow to join us to interrogate data collected in EW field trials being conducted on croplands in Brazil. The Research Fellow will utilise geochemical data to add scientific and commercial value to the trials, for example through statistical analysis and method development for quantifying CO₂ removal and determining mechanisms that control carbon and metal fluxes through the plant and soil system. 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.
