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.
