Team Leader Fungicide research

As a highly skilled chemist with a PhD in chemistry, medicinal chemistry, or a related field, you will utilize your advanced knowledge in organic chemical synthesis to contribute to the identification and development of innovative chemical crop protection active ingredients. While a postdoc experience and prior exposure to crop protection or pharmaceutical research would be advantageous, they are not mandatory. Your proficiency in English language, coupled with qualities like creativity, curiosity, and enthusiasm for driving innovations, will be instrumental in your success in this role. Joining our Fungicide Chemistry team, you will collaborate with a diverse and international group of experts to create cutting-edge solutions that cater to the global market requirements. Your primary responsibility will involve leading an organic synthesis laboratory team, where you will be involved in designing active ingredients, coordinating their synthesis, analyzing their biological activity, and leveraging structure-activity relationships to initiate new designs. Furthermore, you will spearhead multiparameter optimizations, applying medicinal chemistry concepts to bridge the gap between fungi and plants. Your role will require you to operate at the intersection of chemistry, modeling, biology, agronomy, regulatory affairs, and intellectual property. Staying updated with the latest technologies and advancements in organic synthesis, drug discovery, and competitor activities will be crucial. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to establish connections with academia, scientific partners, and technology providers to further enhance your research capabilities. In summary, this position offers a challenging yet rewarding opportunity for a driven individual with a passion for organic chemistry and a desire to make a significant impact in the field of crop protection.,
