Research Scientist in Biokinetics
About the role:
One of our clients is looking for a Senior Research Scientist who specialises in plant physiology and/or plant biochemistry, who has proven experience in a research setting. If successful, you will be part of a team working to develop and deploy assays to determine the optimum ADME characteristics of an AI for a given product.
This opportunity is initially for one year contract.
Responsibilities:
* Critically evaluate recently developed biokinetics assays to measure the impact of ADME processes on AI in crops and weeds using LCMS as the analysis method.
* Devise and develop new capabilities/experimental strategies to support the ADME-related requirements of projects and programs. Independently design and perform a series of experiments to evaluate the robustness and validity of the biokinetics assays. Analyse data, feedback results, contribute scientific advice and propose appropriate follow up studies. Troubleshoot where necessary.
* Using own expertise introduce new technologies and devise improvements to assay protocols to generate operational efficiencies using automation and digital tools.
* Effectively communicate scientific findings and resulting implications within the group and to cross-disciplinary projects.
