  • Conduct plant treatments (chemical/physical) according to SOPs and safety guidelines.
  • Assist in designing and executing experiments; analyze and interpret data.
  • Record observations and experimental data accurately in Excel and data management systems.
  • Maintain cleanliness of growth environments and ensure all equipment is used and stored properly.
  • Collaborate with team members to troubleshoot issues and propose experimental ideas.
  • Present findings and contribute to discussions in team meetings.
  • Why Join Us?
    • Impactful Work: Our current experiments directly contribute to production decisions and can quickly influence real-world agricultural practices.
    • Growth Opportunity: Gain valuable experience, contribute ideas, and potentially transition into a long-term or advanced research role.
    • Collaborative Culture: Work alongside passionate scientists in a supportive, fast-paced research environment.

  • Comfortable working independently and within a team-oriented environment.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (especially Excel) and Microsoft Teams.
