  • The position entails leading the departments of Bioengineering, Cell Biology, and Bioinformatics (including 3 Department Leads and a staff of 11) ensuring the discovery team consistently and rapidly produces innovative, market-ready traits for their global plant breeders.

More than a scientist, this role will be an architect of innovation, translating complex synthetic biology into exciting consumer experiences!
  • The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Plant Biotechnology, Bioengineering, or a related field preferred with 10+ years of experience in biotech or agricultural R&D, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role managing technical teams. A deep understanding of transformation and regeneration techniques, application of bioinformatic tools and bioengineering is a must.
  • Compensation for this postion is between $150K to $225K per year + Bonus + Relocation to the Chicago area.
