Position Summary
Huber AgroSolutions is seeking a highly motivated and scientifically driven Senior Field Biologist to support innovation projects, including new product development (NPD), line extensions, and other pre-commercial development initiatives across the Americas.

  • Coordinate trial placement across relevant crops, geographies, climates, and production systems in North America and, as needed, Latin America.

Data Analysis & Reporting
  • Analyze and interpret biological efficacy, crop response, yield, quality, and phytotoxicity data using appropriate statistical methods.
  • Prepare concise technical reports, trial summaries, presentations, and recommendations for internal decision-making.
  • Develop claims support summaries, technical dossiers, and data packages to support regulatory, marketing, and commercial needs.
  • Maintain organized records of protocols, raw data, trial observations, photos, reports, and conclusions.

Technical Leadership & Market Insight
  • Serve as a subject matter resource on crop production, pest and disease pressure, plant physiology, biological performance, and field development best practices.
  • Monitor competitive products, emerging technologies, scientific literature, and market trends relevant to the innovation pipeline.
  • Provide technical input for product concepts, positioning, launch readiness, stewardship, and market development plans.
  • Present research findings to internal teams, external collaborators, customers, and industry audiences when appropriate.

Specialized/Technical Knowledge or Required Skills
  • M.S. or Ph.D. in Agronomy, Plant Pathology, Entomology, Weed Science, Plant Physiology, Crop Science, Horticulture, Biological Sciences, or a related agricultural discipline preferred.
  • Minimum of 8 years of experience in agricultural research, field biology, product development, applied crop science, or related technical roles.
  • Proven experience designing, executing, and interpreting field trials for crop inputs or agricultural technologies.
  • Experience working with CROs, universities, consultants, growers, or external research partners.
  • Strong knowledge of experimental design, trial quality management, biological efficacy assessment, and data interpretation.

Preferred Experience:
  • Experience with biologicals, biostimulants, plant growth regulators, adjuvants, crop nutrition products, crop protection products, or specialty fertilizers.
  • Experience supporting product launches, technical claims, regulatory data packages, or commercial field development.
  • Knowledge of specialty crops, row crops, turf, ornamentals, controlled environment agriculture, or other relevant production systems.
  • Familiarity with U.S. EPA, state, or international registration data requirements is a plus.
  • Spanish or Portuguese language capability is a plus.
