Each of our 28,000 employees in more than 90 countries work together to solve one of humanity’s most pressing challenges: growing more food with fewer resources. A diverse workforce and an inclusive workplace environment are enablers of our ambition to be the most collaborative and trusted team in agriculture.
Your Tasks and Responsibilities
- You will perform evaluation, analysis, and interpretation of Phenotypic data to identify valuable traits and patterns.
- You will collaborate with the Breeding and trait discovery teams to develop the evaluation protocol and apply them accurately.
- Furthermore, you will conduct statistical analysis to assess the quality of the data collected and identify correlation with traits or patterns with genotypes.

- Attention to detail and Data analytical skills.

What’s in for you
As an intern, you will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in trial design, physiologic and architectural trait evaluation of breeding population and hybrids, phenotypic and genetic data analysis.
