Senior Group Leader Molecular Biology

Within BASF Seed and Traits R&D, molecular biology refers to the design and construction of DNA vectors as well as to the molecular characterization of engineered plants using DNA, RNA and protein-based approaches. The Molecular Biology group aims at state-of-the-art capabilities in vector design and construction, as well as in the domains of DNA, RNA and protein-based plant characterization. The group aims at identifying, developing and implementing latest and novel technology, as well as being highly experienced and predictable in workflow-based operational organization towards minimal cost and timelines while ensuring required quality. Molecular Biology is embedded in a research department that focuses on trait design, creation, and testing, and supports the transgenesis-, genome editing- and mutagenesis-based trait creation activities. For the Molecular Biology group in our R&D Innovation Center in Gent (Belgium) we are looking for an enthusiastic and inspiring leader. https://workatbasfgent.be/senior-group-leader-molecular-biology/
