Teamleiter:in F&E

JOIN THE TEAM

Agriculture is all about balance. In our division Agricultural Solutions, we connect innovative thinking with practical action to find the right balance for success - for farmers, agriculture and future generations. With seeds and traits, crop protection and digital solutions, we help farmers produce food more efficiently, protect the land and meet the needs of society.

RESPONSIBILITIES

In our unit Global Research Herbicides Agronomy / Advanced Biology, we discover, evaluate and optimize the development- and market-potential of new herbicide products.

In your new role, you organize and coordinate the early phase glasshouse testing of new potential herbicide compounds. You act as a focal point for all queries and requests regarding early phase glasshouse herbicide testing. Additionally, you work closely together with chemists, biology team leaders, technicians and gardeners to ensure that the screening proceeds optimally within the constraints of the biological, technical and organizational systems in the glasshouse. You make recommendations for further compound progression based on the screening data obtained and on chemistry considerations. You actively participate in multidisciplinary project teams, representing the herbicide glasshouse testing within the optimization process. Furthermore, you are responsible for the generation and collation of herbicidal screening data to support patent applications. Last but not least, you look into new automation and digitalization projects to optimize productivity and quality of greenhouse testing.
