Job Description:
Job Title: Scientist – Plant Physiology
Benefits include:
* Private medical insurance
* Enhanced parental leave
* Pension
* Regular team meals and socials
About
The client uses wild plant genetics to improve global crops for better yields and carbon capture. Backed by strong funding and working at the cutting edge of agricultural science, the team is based in modern labs at Milton Park, Oxfordshire.
The Role
The client is looking for a plant physiology scientist to support its R&D pipeline. You’ll focus on photosynthesis, develop crop screening methods, and analyse data from lab and field trials. 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)
* Experience working with major crops (e.g. wheat, maize, soy)
* Skilled in data analysis (R, Python or SAS)
* Experience in field trial design
* Able to translate complex data into practical insights
