Department Crop Genetics The Department of Crop Genetics undertakes fundamental research on the biology of cereals, brassicas and legumes to understand phenotypic variation. A major goal is to develop technologies and knowledge to underpin conventional and novel plant breeding strategies, enabling high-yielding, stress- and disease-resistant varieties with end-use quality for sustainable agriculture. The Penfield Group investigates how seasonal changes in temperature affect plant reproductive development, using Arabidopsis and arable crops to study weather and climate variation on reproductive development, yield and quality. The group focuses on gene editing for sustainable agriculture in non-cereal crops. The role An exciting opportunity for a part-time Research Assistant to join the Penfield Group's crop transformation and gene editing work, specifically to develop new processes for efficient gene editing of sugar beet. The project is a collaboration between the John Innes Centre, British Sugar, the British Beet Research Organisation and Tropic Biosciences. Based at the JIC, you will work with Postdoctoral Researchers to develop and scale new protocols for crop transformation. You will contribute to transformation and gene editing capabilities in sugar beet using plant tissue culture, Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, and basic molecular biology to characterize transgenic tissues. The successful candidate will be well organized, able to keep good records, and understand information security in public/private partnerships. We welcome applications from those seeking job-share or flexible working arrangements. Interviews Interviews will be held on 16 March 2026. Legal/visa note: This role does not meet the full salary requirements for UKVI sponsorship. Some individuals may be eligible for visa sponsorship depending on circumstances. If you require sponsorship, please check eligibility before applying.

Your work will change lives. Including your own. Please note: Our offices will be closed for our annual winter break from December 22, 2025, to January 2, 2026. Our response to your application will be delayed. The Impact You'll Make Recursion is leading an era of autonomous science - an adaptable system where AI agents navigate the complexity of biology and chemistry to discover medicines faster and better. As the Staff Product Manager for Agentic Systems, you will define the technical and scientific capabilities required for our next suite of capabilities. You will sit at the intersection of our massive proprietary data generation engine and our cutting-edge AI models, building the "nervous system" that allows agents to reason, plan, and execute experiments in our automated labs. This role is not about maintaining a static roadmap; it is about navigating the frontier of a rapidly evolving field. You will partner with engineering leadership to solve a critical challenge: How do we prioritize the next autonomous science capabilities with the most impact on our drug discovery pipeline, while the definition of "best practices" for AI agents changes monthly? You will balance the need for durable, scalable orchestration infrastructure with the critical need for cycles of experimentation, ensuring we learn fast, validate agent architectures, and avoid cementing solutions before we understand the problem space. In this role, you will: Define the Architecture for Autonomy: Partner with engineering leadership to scope and build the systems that connect our in silico models (the "brain") with our physical automated labs (the "body"), enabling closed-loop, autonomous discovery. Drive Hypothesis-Driven Product Development: Lead cycles of experimentation to test different agentic frameworks. You will embrace ambiguity, helping the team decide when to build durable shared services and when to build rapid, throw-away prototypes to learn what works. Operate as a Translator: Bridge the gap between "wet lab" realities and "dry lab" possibilities. You will translate the needs of drug discovery programs into technical requirements for agent reasoning, ensuring our systems optimize for information gain rather than just volume. Evangelize the "Human-in-the-loop" Evolution: Work with scientific stakeholders to define interfaces where humans review, validate, and shape agent reasoning, ensuring our scientists evolve from "operators" to "architects" of discovery. The Team You'll Join You will join a cross-functional team of software engineers, data scientists, and AI/ML scientists who build the technical bedrock that enables autonomous science, including agent orchestration, guardrails, and the connectivity between our digital and physical assets. You will collaborate closely with the Discovery teams (the users of these agents), the AI Research teams (who build cutting-edge models), and our automated biology and chemistry lab teams (who generate the data that feeds into the models). The Experience You'll Need Navigating Ambiguity in Technical Products: 5+ years of product management experience, with a focus on platform, infrastructure, or AI/ML products where the technical solution was not immediately obvious. Experimentation-First Mindset: A proven track record of managing products through rapid prototyping cycles. You understand the difference between "building to last" and "building to learn," and you know when to apply each strategy. Technical Fluency in Modern AI: While you don't need to be an engineer, you must be fluent in the concepts of LLMs, agentic workflows, APIs, and modern data infrastructure. You can hold your own in a debate about orchestration architectures. Systems Thinking: The ability to visualize complex ecosystems. You can see how a change in a lab protocol impacts an agent's decision-making ability three steps downstream. Communication & Influence: Strong written and oral skills to align diverse stakeholders (PhDs in Biology, Robotics Engineers, AI Researchers) around a unified technical vision. Working Location & Compensation: This is an office-based, hybrid position at one of our office in London. Employees are expected to work in the office at least 50% of the time. At Recursion, we believe that every employee should be compensated fairly. Based on the skill and level of experience required for this role, the estimated current annual base range for this role is £72,800 - £98,700 . You will also be eligible for an annual bonus and equity compensation, as well as a comprehensive benefits package. The Values We Hope You Share: We act boldly with integrity. We are unconstrained in our thinking, take calculated risks, and push boundaries, but never at the expense of ethics, science, or trust. We care deeply and engage directly. Caring means holding a deep sense of responsibility and respect - showing up, speaking honestly, and taking action. We learn actively and adapt rapidly. Progress comes from doing. We experiment, test, and refine, embracing iteration over perfection. We move with urgency because patients are waiting. Speed isn't about rushing but about moving the needle every day. We take ownership and accountability. Through ownership and accountability, we enable trust and autonomy-leaders take accountability for decisive action, and teams own outcomes together. We are One Recursion. True cross-functional collaboration is about trust, clarity, humility, and impact. Through sharing, we can be greater than the sum of our individual capabilities. Our values underpin the employee experience at Recursion. They are the character and personality of the company demonstrated through how we communicate, support one another, spend our time, make decisions, and celebrate collectively.
