- Stakeholder management is key. Therefore, you communicate effectively and regularly with peers and supervisors regarding the status of projects and work activities, as you are up to date about all the statuses. Besides you develop awareness of market needs for commercial products throughout all primary market areas and are you able to translate those into breeding targets.

- You bring knowledge about and experience in conventional plant breeding techniques, germplasm management, diversity analysis, experimental design, quantitative genetics, and statistical analysis including prediction theory. Ideally you have a good understanding of the fundamentals of genome wide (GW) and marker assisted breeding approaches as well.
- As we are an international and divers company, we ask you to have good communication skills in English and preferable at least a basic command of Dutch. Do you speak fluently English and does your Dutch need some improvement? Don’t worry, we can work on that!
- Being a team player is important, but we really appreciate if you can work independently as well. In this role you will have best of both worlds.
