Duration: 2 Years
About the Role
As a Research Scientist, you will play a pivotal role in understanding the ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Elimination) behavior of active ingredients (AIs). Your work will help illuminate critical performance characteristics like selectivity and resistance, making a real impact on how crops are grown.
Key Responsibilities
* Conduct Research: Perform laboratory and glasshouse assays to gather high-quality data on the bioavailability of novel agrochemicals.
* Design Experiments: Independently design, plan, execute, and analyze experiments focusing on interactions between AIs and biological systems.
* Data Interpretation: Analyze and interpret data, presenting your conclusions in detailed reports and engaging presentations.
* Team Collaboration: Work closely with cross‑disciplinary colleagues, ensuring effective communication and teamwork.
* HSE Compliance: Implement health, safety, and environmental actions to maintain operational standards.
What We’re Looking For
Essential Qualifications
* BSc or MSc in Biological Science, focusing on plant, insect, or fungal biology, biochemistry, or chemistry.
* Minimum two years of relevant laboratory experience in a professional or academic setting.
* Strong scientific writing skills and fluency in English.
* Excellent organizational and interpersonal skills.
Desirable Qualifications
* Experience in Pharmacology, Agronomy, Crop Protection, Biochemistry, or Analytical Chemistry.
* Familiarity with ADME studies and analysing small molecules using LC‑MS.
* Proficiency in handling large datasets and utilizing data visualization tools.
* Experience working with plants, soil, or seeds.
What They Offer
* Comprehensive training in advanced techniques, including LC‑MS based analysis.
* Stimulation in an international work environment that values impactful research.
* Access to well‑equipped laboratories and a culture of openness.
* Opportunities to collaborate with highly qualified scientists and enhance your technical expertise.
We run an inclusive and accessible recruitment process to support candidates of all backgrounds and all abilities. If you require reasonable adjustments at any stage, please let us know and we will be happy to support you.
