Program Scientist / Team Leader Genome Editing
Wageningen
Fulltime
Position
As a program scientist you are responsible for the initiation, acquisition and execution of strategic innovation and R&D programs in the field of genome editing. The R&D portfolio involves programs aimed at developing novel technologies and applications, including novel IP, and commercial application of the technology. One important aspect of the R&D focus is aimed at overcoming recalcitrance in the regeneration of crop plant species. Through intensive interactions with breeding companies and research partners, you will define short and long term research goals and ensure timely delivery. This involves collaborative engagement with other R&D teams in KeyGene, as well as with external and international collaboration partners and customers. You are leading a research team of 8-12 scientists, post-docs and technicians and you will coach and inspire your team members in their individual development. You will be reporting to the Vice President Technology Development and be part of the management team of the Technology Development unit. Although the position is within a crop innovation company, also innovative team leaders from outside plant breeding, who have a strong affinity to genome editing and cell biology technology development, are considered a potential fit for the role.
Profile
A versatile position requires a versatile person. On one hand you are a strong and visionary leader. People almost automatically follow you and respect you and your ideas. On the other hand, in order to attain a solid and key position within KeyGene, you need to be an astute specialist in genome editing. A background in crop innovation is a plus, however, team leaders from outside plant breeding, who have a strong affinity to genome editing, are also considered a potential fit for this role.
