## Description

As a Postdoctoral Scientist, you will serve as a key technical transcriptomics expert within Plant Biotechnology at Bayer Crop Science R&D.

You will be responsible for the execution and analysis of single-cell or spatial transcriptomics and technical reporting.

With a focus on functional genomics, you will provide insights to support decision-making, problem-solving, and pipeline innovation.

## Responsibilities

- Analyze spatial transcriptomic data for quality assessment and evaluation of experimental success;

- Conduct in-depth data analyses and design controlled experiments in collaboration with cross-functional partners, coordinating their implementation to enable project success;

- Establish and optimize RNA sequencing protocols for single-cell or spatial transcriptomics applications;

- Understand and anticipate broader project/team interests, identifying, proposing, and performing complementary analyses to enrich insights from multiple modalities/data layers;

- Demonstrate commitment to inclusion and safety, adhering to safety protocols and best practices;

- Maintain detailed record-keeping and required documentation;

- Thrive on meeting challenges, insisting on high-quality deliverables, and demonstrating effective problem-solving skills while building productive external and internal relationships;

- Conduct complex activities that require specialized knowledge and the broad application of scientific principles;

- Take initiative in keeping current with literature in areas of assignment and professional interest.

## Requirements

- Ph.D. in a biological/biomedical, molecular or cell biology, genetics/genomics, computational field, or similar area;

- Experience with next-generation sequencing library preparation;

- Experience with next-generation transcriptomics analysis or a related area;

- Familiarity with innovative or emerging fields of study.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Familiarity with spatial transcriptomics methodologies for analysis;

- Experience working in a Linux environment and at least one programming language (Python, R, etc.);

- Library preparation for cell-based resolution transcriptomics techniques (such as single-cell RNA sequencing or spatial transcriptomics libraries);

- Experience with agricultural specimens;

- Experience collaborating across multiple teams, fostering a team-based approach to research, and leveraging partnerships;

- Experience clearly communicating project plans and experimental results with partners and stakeholders, maintaining alignment on objectives and priorities.

## Benefits

Employees can expect to be paid a salary between $78,640.00 - $117,960.00. Additional compensation may include a bonus or incentive compensation. Additional benefits include health care, vision, dental, retirement, PTO, sick leave, etc.
