We are seeking applications for a Research Assistant in Smart Agriculture to support the management of UKRI funded projects. The role is part of two interdisciplinary projects “PestGPT” and “MobilePest” funded by InnovateUK. MobilePest has developed a mobile app that integrates contextual and visual information with AI models for pest detection, highlights current threshold for the identified pest, and provides information on the insecticide resistant status of regional pest populations.  You will be working with Dr Po Yang at the Sheffield Pervasive Computing (PC) Group. The post includes collaboration opportunities with both UK industrial partners (Velcourt, Mutus-tech) and Harper Adams University.

You will help us to develop these techniques and assist project management and dissemination. This will involve close collaboration with our partners in industry. You will develop your knowledge of smart and sustainable agriculture. You can hone your communication skills by contributing to research publications and running workshops and events to build a network of researchers and practitioners. You will hold a Master’s degree in a relevant subject, ideally with experiences on managing UKRI projects. Some knowledge of mobile intelligence and pervasive computing would be highly desirable.

We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
