This position is fully funded for 2 years where you will assist with running eddy covariance towers (including CO2 and N2O sensors) over a field trial of grazed pasture with applied rock designed to uptake carbon dioxide. You will calculate carbon balances and nitrous oxide fluxes, producing papers and supporting reporting responsibilities. This role is supported by the New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Centre. You will be part of an established flux measurement team with expertise in eddy covariance approaches for farm scale assessments of greenhouse emissions. If needed, training will be provided but there is an expectation of movement to independent work while being supported. In collaboration with a team specialising in enhanced rock weathering
