岗位描述
The Senior Scientist will be responsible to establish pathology systems in lab/GH and field across corn, sunflower and rice. Lead and support trait discovery and validation projects by conducting hands-on experiments, collaborating with key experts and functions both within and outside of Syngenta. The selected individual will provide scientific leadership in plant pathology in the context of lab, Greenhouse and field environments with a mindset that pathology is an integral part of multi-disciplinary approach to develop viable disease resistance traits for the growers to protect yield loss. 负责建立玉米、向日葵和水稻等作物在实验室、温室及田间环境中的病理研究与病害评价体系。通过亲手实验操作，与先正达内外部相关专家及团队合作，领导、支持并推动抗病性状挖掘与验证项目的相关工作。该岗位将在实验室、温室及田间研究体系中提供植物病理学专业指导，秉持病理学是多学科协同方法学这一理念，开发多样性的作物抗病性状，以帮助种植者减少病害造成的产量损失。 • Hold the highest standards on science quality and integrity 坚持最高标准的科研质量要求和科研诚信原则。 • Possess deep knowledge and extensive experience through training and working in conducting crop pathology experiments from collecting inoculum, culture inoculum at appropriate scales, inoculation and disease susceptible/tolerance/resistance ratings in lab, GH and field environments. 具备扎实的专业知识和丰富实践经验，能够在实验室、温室及田间环境中开展植物病理学相关工作，包括病原采集、病原培养扩繁、人工接种以及病害感病性、耐受性或抗性评价。 • Develop correlations of disease susceptible/tolerance/resistance ratings in different environments as required by project. 根据项目需求，建立不同环境条件下宿主对病害的感病性、耐受性或抗性评价结果之间的良好相关性。 • Perform wet-lab experiments to test hypothesis using surrogate assays and crop/disease specific assays to gather evidence for lead prioritization 利用不同的病理评价体系开展湿实验，验证科学假设，并为候选目标的筛选和优先级排序提供依据。 • Be the focal point of creating, internalizing and implementing plant pathology techniques and knowledge that enable the organization to meet the needs of the growers 聚焦植物病理学相关技术和知识的建立、引进、推广和应用，以支持组织满足种植者需求。 • Seek out, identify, communicate and encourage examples of best practice from internal and external sources of information 积极识别、分享并推广来自内部和外部的优秀实践经验。 • Communicate effectively in Chinese and English 能够高效使用中英文开展工作交流。
