Funded Masters of Research

4 months ago

Ormskirk, Lancashire, United Kingdom Edge Hill University Full time

Edge Hill University (EHU) in collaboration with Engage Crop Solutions invites applications for an exciting MRes opportunity focused on testing an innovative advanced technology designed to enhance water retention in soils and prevention of water loss to arid environmental conditions. This research project aims to quantify the secondary effects of this product on overall soil and plant performance and the long terms effects on soils and applied plants/crops.

The selected candidate will have the opportunity to join a dynamic research team at EHU and Engage Crop Solutions for a one-year project aimed at investigating the impact of an application-based technology, utilised within the agricultural and horticulture sector. Originally designed to minimise water loss from soils, this technology is now believed to yield additional indirect benefits for soil and plant health, which are particularly relevant to growers and conservation practitioners. These secondary effects hold the potential for significant benefits, particularly in the context of degraded soils, to enhance ecosystems. However, our current understanding of these effects lacks detailed quantitative insight.

The project entails a comprehensive approach, involving field and laboratory experiments, as well as the analysis of soil and plant samples in differing environmental regions and soil types. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with industry experts to assess the effectiveness of the technology on soil structure, texture, bioactivity and plant health. Through this interdisciplinary research endeavour, we aim to unravel the intricacies of the technologies impact, paving the way for informed decision-making and sustainable agricultural practices.

The student will be responsible for:

  • Designing and conducting field experiments to assess the impact of this product on soil and plant health.
  • Collecting and analysing soil and plant samples using advanced laboratory techniques and possibly development of new methodology for testing.
  • Collaborating with industry partners and stakeholders to interpret research findings and develop practical recommendations.
  • Presenting research findings at conferences and preparing scientific publications for a peer-reviewed journal.

The successful applicant will receive:

  • Payment of 1-year, full-time MRes tuition fees (£5,800)

This opportunity is open to UK based applicants eligible for home fees who meet the following eligibility criteria:

  • Bachelor's degree in Plant Science, Soil Science, Agronomy, Environmental Science, or related fields.
  • Strong research background with experience in field and/or laboratory experimentation and data analysis.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team.
  • Passion for sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation.

In the first instance please complete the online application form by clicking the 'Apply' button above.

Once you have done this, please send the following items in one email to quoting the project title in the subject of the email:

  • A downloaded copy of your application form.
  • A cover letter/personal statement outlining your suitability and research interests.
  • A full academic CV (maximum of three A4 pages, using size 12 font) which includes the contact details of two referees.
  • A copy of your qualification certificates and passport.
