The John Innes Centre is a registered charity (No. 223852) and a limited company (England No. 511709). 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.
