EP Grains Research Intern for 2027 applications open now!
AIR EP are excited to announce that SAGIT and the SA Drought Hub are funding a Grains Research Intern for 2027. This is a great opportunity for ag students in their final year of tertiary study or recently graduated to secure a fantastic experience to start their career!
The Research Officer (EP Grains Applied Research Trainee) will be contracted to a 12-month position based with EPAG Research, reporting to the Director of EPAG Research.
The traineeship will be customised to the successful applicant and day-to-day supervision and guidance will be provided by EPAG Research, AIREP, its research partners and collaborating advisors. The aim of this initiative is to encourage high quality agricultural science students to pursue applied research as a career, and to give students who are interested in R&D a broad overview of the fundamentals of applied R&D relevant to the grains industry, particularly as it relates to Eyre Peninsula. Research areas will focus on agronomy and farming systems, but have scope to include soil science, weed science, crop pathology and entomology.
This is a full-time contract from 1 February 2027 to 28 January 2028. The role is based in Port Lincoln.
