This role is key to improving traits in gene-edited crops and involves close collaboration with scientists and agronomists.

Key responsibilities:

  • Design and run experiments on gene-edited crops
  • Analyse data from trials and lab studies
  • Improve crop traits through physiological and genetic insight
  • Present findings clearly to technical and non-technical teams
  • Mentor team members and contribute to lab processes

Requirements

  • PhD in Plant Biology or similar, with 3+ years' experience
  • Strong knowledge of plant physiology (esp. photosynthesis)
