Desirable experience includes glasshouse/protected crop production, plant physiology, horticultural science, crop husbandry, and industry-facing or applied research.
Funding and contract: this is a salaried employment role, not a studentship or scholarship. Salary is £33,739–£38,825 per annum pro rata. The post is fixed term for 12 months.
