Student, Job and Apprentice Opportunities

- Post-doctoral fellow opportunity at the Semiarid Prairie Agricultural Research Centre
Working within a multidisciplinary team, the post-doctoral fellow (PDF) will undertake research activities in the area of sustainable organic production systems for the Brown Soil zone. Under the supervision of, and in collaboration with, a team of research scientists and assisted by technical staff and/or students, the PDF will conduct field trials under organic methods.听 The objective of the main field trial is to determine if diversified crop rotations and reduced tillage under organic management can keep weed populations at low levels, soil fertility at adequate levels, and plants healthy for sustainable and profitable production of annual crops under the water-limited and variable environmental conditions of the Brown Soil Zone of western Canada. For more information, please contact Myriam Fernandez at myriam.fernandez@agr.gc.ca. - Please let us know about current opportunities you wish to announce by emailing oacc@dal.ca.
