We present both electric-field and photo-excited control of the carrier concentration in GdN. There is no evidence in the results of a carrier-mediated contribution to the Gd-Gd exchange interaction that has been suggested to explain a measured Curie temperature that is much higher than obtained within theoretical treatments. Persistent carrier concentrations seen in both the field-effect and photo-induced conductivities point to a distribution of long-lived trap states below the conduction band, very likely centred at nitrogen vacancies
