About the role...
We are looking for a dynamic, self-motivated and proactive Crop Scientist to join our fast-growing team at Inari Ghent, who is committed and passionate about developing 21st century solutions to address global food challenges. As a Crop Scientist you will play a central role in developing and executing our corn and soy discovery activities. You will be responsible for designing, implementing, hands-on executing, and coordinating tasks and scientific projects with a focus on soy and corn.
At the interplay between discovery and product design, this diverse role includes both a strategic element of developing corn and soy discovery activities that integrate Inari’s predictive models, and a lab-based role for hands-on work to efficiently and methodically plan, execute and coordinate experimental work. You will ensure experiments are executed efficiently and correctly and milestones are met on time. The right candidate combines extensive crop biology knowledge (molecular genetics, quantitative genetics, genomics and trait physiology) with a willingness to learn and thrives in a fast paced environment in the true “start-up” atmosphere. The crop scientist is well organised, flexible, shows good judgment, takes initiative and is willing to take on a variety of tasks and responsibilities as needed to achieve goals and deliverables. Excellent communication skills are essential for this role as part of an interdisciplinary team.
Our success is dependent on great minds, collaborating to generate bright ideas and deliver exceptional outcomes.
This position will be located in our growing team in Ghent, Belgium. Our interdisciplinary R&D team brings expertise in biology, agronomy, genetics, data science, and software engineering, and is supported by an exceptional global Scientific Advisory Board.
