Experience: Demonstrated experience conducting agricultural experiments with crops is required. Experience managing research projects, producing high-quality data, and publishing papers in reputable peer-reviewed journals is required. Experience with 15N isotopes or nitrous oxide emissions would be an asset.

Skills: Demonstrated ability to create and foster relationships with people of diverse backgrounds and education levels is important. Attention to detail and strong organizational skills are required. The applicant must demonstrate effective interpersonal and communication skills, with an aptitude for teamwork and collaboration.
