Recruitment Business Manager at Orion Group
Orion Group are looking for a Senior Research Scientist to work with our multinational agriscience client, for an initial 24-month temporary/contract basis.
You would be part of a group conducting research on the behaviour of active ingredients (AI) within target and non-target species, enabling understanding of critical performance characteristics such as selectivity, resistance and translation to the field. If successful, you would work on the optimisation and deployment of assays using LCMS analysis.
Assume responsibility for delivering high quality data to herbicide research projects that you have generated from biokinetics assays. Analyse data, feedback results, contribute scientific advice and propose appropriate follow up studies. Troubleshoot where necessary.
* Using own expertise introduce new technologies and devise improvements to assay protocols to generate operational efficiencies using automation and digital tools.
* Devise and develop new capabilities/experimental strategies to support the ADME-related requirements of projects and programs. Independently design and perform experiments to evaluate the robustness and validity of the biokinetics assays.
* Effectively communicate scientific findings and resulting implications within the group and to cross-disciplinary projects.
Requirements:
* MSc and/or PhD in plant physiology, in plant biochemistry or related degree.
* 2+ years of research experience, either in a relevant professional or academic setting.
* Proven track record in experimental design and troubleshooting.
* Excellent data processing and analysis skills.
* Record of working with and influencing others through your scientific knowledge and experience.
