Senior Research Fellow - Smart / Digital Agriculture (Controlled Environment Agriculture)

Salary: £48,117 - £57,418 p.a. pro rata
Full time, permanent contract

Help shape the future of datadriven, smart (controlledenvironment) agriculture

About the Role

At Nottingham Trent University (NTU), we are investing in the next generation of smart agricultural systems, including new controlledenvironment agriculture (CEA) and vertical farming facilities. These platforms will support a growing portfolio of applied research spanning crop production, sensing technologies, automation, and datadriven decisionmaking.

We are now seeking a Senior Research Fellow to play a key role in developing and delivering research using these facilities, working at the interface of academic research and realworld application.

This is a handson, deliveryfocused research role, suited to someone who is motivated by translating technical capability into practical outcomes.

You will:

Develop and deliver research in smart/digital agriculture, with a particular focus on CEA and vertical farming
Make full use of the School’s new and existing facilities, including glasshouses, vertical farming systems and analytical platforms
Work collaboratively with academic colleagues and external partners, including industry
Contribute to funded research activity, including bids, collaborative projects and applied research programmes
Translate research findings into outputs that support realworld application and impact

The role combines technical research, project delivery, and collaboration, with a strong emphasis on producing outputs that are usable beyond academia.

About You

We are looking for someone who can combine technical expertise with practical delivery.

You will bring:

Experience in a relevant area such as controlledenvironment agriculture, horticulture, agritechnology, engineering, or dataenabled agricultural systems
The ability to design and deliver applied research projects, working to defined objectives and timelines
Strong analytical and problemsolving skills, particularly in multidisciplinary or technical environments
The ability to communicate effectively with both academic and nonacademic audiences
Experience working collaboratively, ideally including industry or external partnerships

For more details, please take a look at the role profile. We'll still consider applications even if you don't meet every single one of the requirements, so don't be put off if you don't match them perfectly.

About Us

We are the School of Animal, Rural and Environmental Science (ARES) at Nottingham Trent University. Our business is nature: specifically, the environment, animal health and welfare, ecology and conservation, and agriculture and food production..

Our approach is innovative and inclusive. We feel it makes us that little bit different. It’s our goal to have a positive impact on the planet by improving the well being of environments, animals, plants, and people. If you see that passion in yourself, we can be a new, powerful partner in your career.

For any informal queries about the role or the ARES team, please contact Andy Gill (Associate Dean for Research) at [email protected].

Proposed interview date: week commencing 6th July 2026
