AgResearch, a Crown Research Institute in New Zealand, is seeking candidates for a new position that will specialise in the interface between quantitative forage breeding and biophysical simulation modelling.

Plant Quantitative Genetics & Modelling (https://careers.sciencenewzealand.org/jobdetails/ajid/9Zqi7/Scientist-Plant-Quantitative-Genetics-Modelling,4446.html)
You will join a world renowned team tasked with breeding improved forages and enhancing breeding strategies, including Genomic Selection and application of next-generation genotyping platforms, principally Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS). The team comprises well established scientists with expertise in a wide range of disciplines, and works closely with producer groups and research and commercial partners, both nationally and internationally.
Your enthusiasm and "can do" attitude to perform research, ability to learn new skills, and excellent interpersonal skills will add value to our team. This is primarily a quantitative genetics and plant breeding research position with strong linkages to the biophysical modelling team. You will:

  1.  Collaboratively develop and implement quantitative genetic and biophysical models for simulating perennial ryegrass breeding strategies with reference to grazing industry objectives.
  2.  Provide quantitative genetic support for Genomic Selection in forage species, and GBS approaches to genetic analysis.
  3.  Contribute to implementation and leadership of forage plant breeding programmes.
  4.  Conduct simulation modelling of forage nutrient interactions in pastoral systems.
