Informatie
In this role, hands-on experimentation and scientific thinking come together, giving you real ownership over work that directly impacts research and product development.
- You contribute to meaningful innovation by generating high-quality data that directly influences research direction and product development decisions.
- Ownership is part of the role, as experiments, equipment, and results are managed with autonomy and a strong sense of responsibility.
- Working at the intersection of theory and practice, laboratory trials (in vitro and in vivo) are set up and executed while biological material is prepared, treated, and carefully assessed.
- Scientific thinking is applied in practice through inoculations with fungi or insects, combined with close monitoring and critical observation of development.
- Working with living systems is central, as pathogen collections, insect cultures, and plant material are maintained in a consistent and reliable way.
- Continuous improvement is driven by contributing to the optimization of methods, protocols, and ways of working within the lab.
- A high-quality lab environment is maintained by ensuring that equipment, phytotrons, and climate chambers are properly managed and calibrated.
- Collaboration plays a key role through close interaction with lab technicians, trialists, and international colleagues, while also supporting greenhouse and field activities when needed.
- Professional growth is achieved by building technical expertise and gaining a broader understanding of applied R&D in an international context.
What makes this role stand out is the combination of hands-on experimentation, scientific ownership, and the opportunity to make a visible and meaningful contribution!
