Research Fellow (Soil Science), Biological Sciences

The Research Fellow in Soil Science on CropSustaiN will be central to developing and conducting soil-based experiments to explore Biological Nitrification Inhibition (BNI) potential of novel wheat lines identified by collaborators. The research spans glasshouse and field experiments exploring the link between plant performance and nitrogen cycling, with careful monitoring of physicochemical constraints such as hydrological conditions (drought stress, wetting events, aeration), mechanical impedance and temperature stresses. It also involves laboratory experiments to explore BNI compound transport into soil and the spatial impacts.
