We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join a multidisciplinary team investigating pasture quality and nutrient dynamics in conventional and diverse pasture systems as part of the Whenua Haumanu project. This three-year, plant focused PhD programme will explore how pasture diversity influences forage quality, plant and soil nutrient dynamics, and animal performance. Ultimately, this work will contribute to innovative, evidence-based strategies for sustainable pasture management.

Entry requirements

The programmes are suited for a candidate with an Honours or Masters qualification in Agronomy, Pasture Science, or plant-related disciplines, with a strong background in data management and statistical analysis.
