Influence the next
breakthrough in vegetable crop improvement
 Syngenta
is a world-leading agribusiness committed to sustainable
agriculture through innovative research and technology. The
company is
a leader in crop protection, and ranks third in the high-value
commercial seeds market. Sales in 2007 were approximately $9.2
billion. Syngenta employs over 21,000 people in more than 90
countries. Syngenta is listed on the Swiss stock exchange (SYNN)
and in New York (SYT). Further information is available at

Would you relish the chance to join a multi-disciplinary team in
a culturally diverse environment, influencing the development of
products that use natural genetic variation to improve vegetable
crops? Delivering better adapted crops for more efficient
production is a major goal. Consumer demands, diets and buying
habits are also changing as nutrition becomes increasingly
important. We are responding with a multi-million pound
investment in commercial product development pipelines. So, if
you have a relevant PhD or equivalent, experience of conducting
field, glasshouse and laboratory experiments, plus sound
analytical and reporting skills, this could be a turning point
in your career.
You’ll take the lead in post-harvest physiology research
activities across a range of vegetable crops. The role will
involve creating novel insights and exploring aspects of the
genetic and environmental control of post-harvest traits. You
will be reporting your findings to our product development and
marketing teams. Some international travel can be expected.
You should have sound knowledge of post-harvest physiology,
preferably in vegetable crops, plus a familiarity with molecular
genetics and plant breeding from a commercial perspective. With
a good understanding of modern bioscience, you’ll be capable of
tracking and managing projects.
