**About the Opportunity**

The successful candidate will lead a team to conduct and develop assays to characterize berry plant (strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, blueberry) response to a range of important diseases and pests in Mexico. This role serves to phenotype plant responses to key pathogens and pests of the berry crops to characterize the commercial and pre-breeding plant materials. This position will work collaboratively with the breeding, applied research, entomology and farming colleagues in planning and executing multi-year research work projects in laboratory, greenhouse and experimental fields and test plots. This is a great opportunity to utilize existing discipline knowledge and experience while furthering developing pathology and entomology skills in collaboration with breeding, molecular science, and plant health professionals.

**Responsibilities**

  • Plan and carry out resistance assays using established protocols for key target pathogens and other biotic stresses on all berry crops for Driscoll's varieties either at laboratory, greenhouse or experimental fields.
  • Coordinate with Host Resistance Senior Scientist and team to develop and/or optimize existing assays for new or emerging pathogen and pests.
  • Conduct inoculations, maintain plants, and evaluate response in trials.
  • Manage workflow: Responsible for creating work strategy for the team, managing subordinates and day-to-day execution of the work.
  • Work cross-functionally with the breeders, applied research, entomologists and farming colleagues to achieve a common goal.
  • Capture, manage and analyze data for accurate reporting.
  • Write reports in a timely manner.
  • Share data and report to senior scientist and collaborators and communicate any appropriate observations that should inform analysis.
  • Be able to move work forward by working independently or as a collaborative team member depending on project.
