We are looking for an experienced and highly motivated plant in vitro culture and transgenesis expert to join our Plants & Transformation team and help us get our most ambitious R&D project to the next level: Transforming and regenerating our enhanced plants. You will need to have excellent scientific background and rigour as well as be comfortable with managing many parallel workstreams. You need to be equally comfortable with pushing the boundary of what can be done in plant transgenesis by using your ingenuity troubleshooting and critical thinking skills. From day 1 you will work on crucial topics to achieve results within an aggressive timeline. Your work will impact all future Neoplants products and thus will be instrumental in achieving our long-term vision.
Working at Neoplants is a unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge research and impactful projects that can literally change the world alongside a collaborative and interdisciplinary highly engaged team.
Main missions (but not limited to):
Develop optimize and maintain plant in vitro culture protocols
Design and execute plant genetic transformation experiments (Biolistic Agrobacterium-mediated protoplast transfection or novel methods)
Generate select and regenerate transgenic plants across diverse species ensuring high efficiency and reproducibility
Maintain sterile culture conditions and resolve contamination issues or bottlenecks related to regeneration.
Collaborate with molecular biology teams on vector design construct validation and downstream analysis of transformants
Document experimental protocols results and data analyses in compliance with GLP biosafety and intellectual property guidelines
Train and mentor junior scientists or technicians in in vitro culture and transformation techniques
Contribute to cross-functional projects by providing technical expertise and innovative solutions to plant trait development challenges.
