**Are you interested in using your literature review, project management, and quantitative analysis skills on a project studying regenerative agriculture?**

Dr David Williams, Dr Ruth Wade, and Dr Jenny Hodbod have recently received funding for a 15-month project ‘Quantifying the Potential for Regenerative Agriculture to Contribute to Net-Zero in the UK’.

We are looking for a 50% Grade 5 research project assistant to assist in the following project activities:

- A scoping review with Delphi-technique expert elicitation to identify best-estimates of the potential of on-farm interventions for carbon sequestration and their impacts (positive or negative) on agricultural yields.
- An expert elicitation workshop with farmers to identify barriers and enabling conditions for each intervention.

**What we offer in return**
- 26 days holiday plus approx.16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) - That’s 42 days a year
- Generous pension scheme options plus life assurance
- Health and Wellbeing: Discounted staff membership options at The Edge, our state-of-the-art Campus gym, with a pool, sauna, climbing wall, cycle circuit, and sports halls.
- Personal Development: Access to courses run by our Organisational Development & Professional Learning team.
