We are not hiring an ordinary breeder. We are looking for a driven, high-performing Senior ScientistCrop Improvement & Breeding who will relentlessly accelerate our crop improvement pipeline and deliver superior, high-yielding, climate-resilient varieties at unmatched speed. If you are obsessed with results, thrive under pressure, and want to dominate the field with cutting-edge science, this is your opportunity to make a massive impact. Key Responsibilities:
Lead from the front and design high-velocity breeding strategies using genomic selection, speed breeding, marker-assisted selection, and advanced tools to shatter existing yield barriers and stress tolerance limits. - Build and execute aggressive pipelines that consistently deliver elite germplasm and commercially ready varieties faster than industry standards. - Rapidly identify, map, and introgress high-value traits (yield, drought/heat tolerance, disease resistance, nutritional enhancement) into superior genetic backgrounds. - Fully integrate genomics, high-throughput phenotyping, bioinformatics, and data analytics to stay ahead of competitors. - Own end-to-end multi-location field programs delivering statistically robust results and regulatory success. - Build and mentor a high-output team that delivers excellence, not mediocrity. - Drive strong intellectual property creation (patents & PVP) and high-impact . What We Demand (No Compromise):
Ph.D. in Plant Breeding, Genetics, Crop Improvement, or closely related field (mandatory). - 8-15 years of proven, hands-on breeding experience in seed or agri-biotech companies with a strong track record of releasing successful commercial varieties. - Mastery in Genomic Selection, GWAS, QTL mapping, Speed Breeding, and advanced statistical tools (R, ASReml, etc.). - Experience in gene editing (CRISPR) is a significant advantage.
