Plant Genome Editing Scientist (Lettuce Transformation and CRISPR)
At LeafyColl, we're developing new lettuce varieties with improved commercial traits using CRISPR-Cas genome editing, and I'm looking for a scientist to take real ownership of this programme.
The role covers the full pipeline: identifying candidate genes, designing editing constructs, Agrobacterium-mediated lettuce transformation, tissue culture and shoot regeneration, through to sequence-confirmed edited plants.
Our primary requirement is proven hands-on success in generating and molecularly validating genome-edited plants, ideally lettuce (Lactuca sativa).
