Limagrain UK Ltd (formerly Nickerson) is part of Groupe Limagrain, Europe’s largest plant breeding company. An opportunity has arisen in the UK arm of the Limagrain Oilseed Rape programme for a plant breeder to join a small group of highly motivated individuals developing winter oilseed rape varieties throughout Europe, at our head office in Rothwell, Lincolnshire. The appointment is part of a planned succession process and the successful applicant will be capable of eventually assuming full responsibility for the UK winter rape programme. The position requires an individual well versed in the recent advances of molecular genetics but with the ability to translate these into the development of varieties and new breeding techniques. Plant breeding encompasses a wide range of disciplines: agronomy, pathology, analytical chemistry, molecular biology, statistics, mathematical modelling and genetics. The successful applicant will have the ability to manage a small team working with multiple skills in a logistically complex programme. The position is a senior technical appointment and therefore offers considerable scope for someone able to provide leadership in an innovative environment. Applicants should have a good knowledge of plant science and genetics with formal relevant training to at least BSc level. Post Graduate training would be an advantage as would experience of plant breeding. The position is rewarded with an attractive remuneration and employment package.
The closing date for applications is 31st July 2010.
