The posting

Dyson Farming is a family-owned business with a vision to benefit future generations through a commitment to commercially viable and environmentally sustainable food production at scale. We strive to be industry leaders in efficient, high-technology agriculture, employing highly skilled, pioneering individuals and supported by research and development in close partnership with our sister company, Dyson.

We see the future of agriculture as an exciting opportunity to improve the nation’s food security, health, and economic growth.

Dyson Farming has recently announced that 1000 acres of arable land will be dedicated to agricultural research through the establishment of the Dyson Farming Research Centre. This initiative will enable better utilisation of resources and foster collaboration between Dyson Farming teams and external research organisations. Together, we aim to enhance knowledge and develop practical solutions for sustainable agricultural practices that deliver high-quality, high-yield crops while maximising environmental outcomes—such as biodiversity, and improved water, soil, and air quality.

Placement Overview

We have a work experience opportunity for a PHD student to undertake as part of their studies, who is looking to gain knowledge and experience in a research environment. Placements will run for a period of three months, with preferred start dates in July or September 2026. Alternative arrangements may be considered upon discussion. To apply for this role, you must be studying a PHD in a related subject.

This experience will allow you to acquire knowledge and skills that will support your academic studies and help you develop the practical, interpersonal, and business competencies needed in the workplace. Working alongside our experienced Research Team, you will gain insight into our unique business and build a foundation for future career plans. The role will require effective collaboration with the team to ensure the efficient running of Dyson Farming’s research trials. This is a learning-focused placement without a salary, travel expenses will be reimbursed and on-site accommodation can be arranged for the duration of the placement.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities during your placement, you will gain first-hand experience in industry-led research trials. Your role will include:

  • Supporting primary data collection across a variety of crops, including strawberries, potatoes, combinable crops and environmental monitoring
  • Assisting with crop husbandry tasks
  • Working across our Nocton Farm and Carrington Glasshouse sites, with potential travel to our Oxfordshire Farm

You will be assigned a Student Placement Mentor who will support you throughout your placement and tailor the experience to your interests and course requirements. Additionally, you will undertake a research project based on a real-life challenge faced by Dyson Farming. This project will help you develop key skills such as project management, communication, and time management.

Person Specification

  • To be eligible for this placement, you must be actively enrolled in a PhD programme in agriculture, environmental, horticulture, or a plant-related science discipline.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
