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!

Functie eisen

You are curious, driven, and motivated to apply your scientific background in a role where you can quickly learn, take ownership, and make a real impact.  

  • A Bachelor's or Master's degree in agriculture, biology, microbiology, chemistry, or a related field provides a strong scientific foundation.  
  • Early career experience or a strong motivation to start in a lab environment defines your current stage, supported by a willingness to learn quickly.  
  • Working in English feels natural, while knowledge of Dutch or French is considered an additional need. 
  • Analytical curiosity is demonstrated through a desire to understand underlying mechanisms and to ask the right questions when observing results.  
  • High standards for quality are reflected in a structured, accurate, and consistent way of working that ensures reliable outcomes.  
  • Hands-on scientific work brings energy, especially when working with plants, pathogens, insects, and laboratory equipment.  
  • Ownership comes naturally and is visible in the responsibility taken for both the process and the results.  
  • Teamwork is essential, supported by clear communication, openness in sharing insights, and a willingness to support others.  
  • Continuous learning is part of your mindset, shown by actively developing new skills and adapting to evolving lab and project needs.
