Full job description

Priority may be given to the following designated employment equity groups: women, Indigenous Peoples* (First Nations, Inuit and Métis), persons with disabilities and racialized persons*.

The Employment Equity Act, which is under review, uses the terminology Aboriginal peoples and visible minorities.

Candidates are asked to self-declare when applying to this hiring process.

City: Saskatoon

Organizational Unit: Aquatic and Crop Resource Development

Classification: RO

Tenure: Continuing

Language Requirements: English

Work arrangements:

Due to the nature of the work and operational requirements, this position will require full-time physical presence at the NRC work location identified.

The role

As a Research Officer, you will play a key role in designing and managing experimental systems that simulate diverse agricultural and environmental conditions. You will lead research and technology development efforts that combine biological, environmental, and digital systems to improve plant productivity, resource efficiency, and sustainability.

Working collaboratively with NRC researchers, engineers, and external partners, you will help establish NRC as a global leader in digital agriculture and controlled environment research.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop, operate, and optimize controlled environment systems (growth chambers, greenhouses, vertical farms) to support crop and environmental simulation and production research through programming, sensor integration and systems optimization.
Design and manage experimental systems that mimic various climatic, soil, and environmental factors affecting crop growth.
Implement advanced digital twins and automated technology platforms with a emphasis on indoor agriculture and controlled environment technology (ex. IoT, robotics, drones, AI, autonomous instrumentation, sensors, non-destructive data acquisition and phenotyping platforms).
Design and conduct experiments that examine the effects of environmental variables (light, temperature, humidity, CO₂, nutrient delivery) on plant growth, physiology, and yield through digital and automated crop measurement, and environmental modeling
Conduct innovative R&D on plant-environment interactions to improve production efficiency, sustainability, and crop quality through simulated environmental platforms and digital twins.
Design and analyze multifactorial experiments integrating environmental, biological, and digital data to support data-driven decision-making and modeling.
Lead the generation of high-quality scientific and technical outputs — including reports, peer-reviewed publications, patents, and prototypes.
Collaborate with NRC teams and external partners in industry, academia, and government to develop and transfer technologies.

Screening criteria

Applicants must demonstrate within the content of their application that they meet the following screening criteria in order to be given further consideration as candidates:

Education

Ph.D. in Controlled Environment Biosystems Engineering or Biological, Agricultural Engineering, Environmental Science, Plant Science, Horticultural Science, or related with combined relevant post-doctoral experience in controlled environment technologies, system design and optimization, environmental control, data driven farming.

For information on certificates and diplomas issued abroad, please see Degree equivalency
