PhD Research Opportunity: Almond Tree Physiology


Job Description:

We are seeking a highly motivated and talented candidate to undertake a PhD project focused on determining the physiological response of almond varieties to orchard management practices.

The successful applicant will work closely with growers to establish best management practices in the management of individual almond varieties, encouraging sustainable farming systems and contributing to a healthy, resilient and sustainable river system and communities.

This project aims to identify the factors that contribute to leafing failure in almond trees and develop approaches to mitigate this response for multiple varieties, including Monterey.

The outcomes of this research will be supported by plant physiological measurements, including carbohydrate levels as an indicator of plant function.


Required Skills and Qualifications:

* Masters or honours degrees in Agricultural science, Environmental science, Plant physiology, Horticulture or equivalent research or work experience;
* Candidates with relevant industry experience will be favourably considered;


Benefits:

* A strong industry link and career opportunities at an equivalent graduate level salary;
* The opportunity to work with growers to establish best management practices in the management of individual almond varieties;
* The potential to make a significant contribution to sustainable farming systems and river health;


Additional Information:

The PhD project will be supervised by Dr Joanne Ashnest (Charles Sturt University) and co-supervised by Dr Bruno Holzapfel (Charles Sturt University) and Dr Cassandra Collins (The University of Adelaide).
