Research Assistant
Applications for this vacancy closed on 25 June 2024 at 12:00PM
**About the role**
We are seeking a Research Assistant to join an exciting, rapidly expanding
international research project which seeks to reduce the environmental impacts
of thousands of farms worldwide using digital tools. You would work on
consolidating agri-environmental data on the most widely produced crops,
focusing on the top producing countries, and uploading it to the HESTIA data
platform, as well as contributing to the HESTIA glossary and to the
development of new environmental models. Your work will help generate data on
multiple environmental impacts (e.g., global warming potential, ecosystem
toxicity, eutrophication, land use, water use) of different food products,
such as sugarcane, wheat, rice, maize, soya beans, sugar beet, other
vegetables, and cassava.
HESTIA is a large, motivated team of environmental scientists and software
developers. The team is based within the Interdisciplinary Centre for
Conservation Science in the Department of Biology and the Oxford Martin
School.
**About you**
You will hold or be close to completion of a relevant postgraduate degree or
hold an undergraduate degree in a relevant subject with equivalent experience.
You will possess sufficient specialist knowledge in the discipline to work
within established research programmes. You will be highly numerate and have
strong organizational and communication skills. You will also be able to
interact effectively within the team with both senior and junior researchers,
whilst also being able to work independently while using personal initiative
and judgement.
**How to apply**
The University of Oxford is committed to equality and valuing diversity. All
applicants will be judged on merit, according to the selection criteria.
This post is full time and available from 2nd September 2024.
The closing date for applications is 12pm on 25th June 2024, interviews are
likely to be scheduled for end of June.
