Job description

Research Scientist in Biokinetics!

About the Role

In this role, you will play a crucial part in researching the ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Elimination) behaviour of active ingredients (AIs) across various species. Your work will be essential in understanding performance characteristics such as selectivity and resistance, ultimately helping to transform how crops are grown.

Job Type

2-year contract

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct a range of projects from early-stage research through to product development and market support.
• utilise lab and glasshouse assays alongside analytical techniques to generate high-quality data on the bioavailability of active ingredients.
• Independently design, plan, execute, and analyse experiments to deepen our understanding of AIs' interactions with plants.
• Present your findings through detailed reports and presentations, showcasing your analytical prowess.
• Collaborate with your team, ensuring compliance with our HSE standards and project timelines.

Essential Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree (preferred) in Biological Sciences, with a focus on Plant Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, or Soil Science.
• A minimum of two years of relevant laboratory experience, whether in a professional or academic setting.
• Strong scientific writing and communication skills, along with excellent organisational abilities.

Desirable Experience

• Background in Pharmacology, Agronomy, Crop Protection, Biochemistry, or Analytical Chemistry.
• Familiarity with handling large data sets and data visualisation tools.
• Experience in studying ADME of active ingredients, and proficiency in analysing small molecules using LC-MS.
• Knowledge of plant physiology and crop health, including plant responses to various factors.
