This position includes performing on-site crop research to evaluate the impact of agrivoltaics on crop yield, plant phenology, water stress, and insect/animal damage. The primary field site is located approximately 45 minutes northwest of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
This research is a part of NREL's Innovative Solar Projects Integrated with Rural economies and Ecosystems (InSPIRE) project which explores compatibility and mutual benefits of solar development with agriculture and native landscapes. The ideal candidate will be detail-oriented, interested in sustainable agriculture and solar energy production, and enjoy working outdoors. This position is primarily in-person, offering students hands-on fieldwork experience within a solar array facility.
