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
www.syngenta.com
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 provide crop physiology expertise for diverse projects in
vegetable quality aimed at increasing our understanding of the
biological basis of major agronomic traits in line with crop
strategies. In particular, you’ll support breeding, marketing
and product development activities by leading the investigation
of crop/plant responses to the environment in order to meet
customer needs. An element of international travel will be
involved.
Your in-depth knowledge of plant physiology should be backed by
an understanding of agronomy and biochemistry. A theoretical
knowledge of molecular genetics, QTL mapping and reverse
genetics is important, as well as an ability to efficiently
track and manage projects.
