Research Assistant - Soil Ecology

Who We Are + What We Do

The Land Institute co-leads the global movement for perennial, diverse, regenerative grain agriculture at a scale that matches the enormity of the intertwined climate, water, and food security crises. An independent 501 (c) (3) non-profit founded in 1976, the organization seeks to reconcile the human economy with nature's economy, starting with food. The transdisciplinary team of scientists, together with global partners, is developing new perennial grain crops, like Kernza©, and diverse cropping systems that function within nature's limits while researching the social transformation required for a just, perennial human future.

Open Positions

One Soil Ecology Research Assistant to work temporarily full-time, for a 5 to 11-month position starting as early as August 2026 and ending by June 2027.

Positions Summary

Soil Ecology: We are looking for a creative, collaborative full-time research assistant for the soil ecology program. This program-specific Research Assistant will work with the Soil Ecology program to perform field and lab work related to our research. Tasks will include things such as washing soil from roots, sieving soil, threshing grains, labeling and organizing samples, weeding, supporting harvest of late-season crops, checking on greenhouse experiments, processing plant material, and performing soil analyses. The ideal candidate will bring an interest in soils, agricultural sustainability, and a relevant background in physical or biological sciences.

Participate in educational events such as research seminars, group trainings, and field trips, including in-person and virtual meetings.
Meet regularly with mentors and engage in discussions and reflections.
Participate in fieldwork with other staff, post-bacs, and trainees to gain experience working with multiple perennial grain crops.
Ask questions, share interests, and engage with the soil ecology team or the research support team

Experience as part of a research lab or conducting an independent project

Hours

You must be prepared to take these measures and have the endurance to work in a challenging physical environment. We feel that the best of human company makes this work rewarding and even fun despite the degrees, but that does not make it easy.
