About Moa

Moa Technology is an innovative and rapidly growing crop protection R&D company.
Our mission is to create a new generation of safe, effective and affordable herbicides to help farmers produce high quality food for all. Our team of passionate and talented scientists, technicians, and operational staff uses disruptive proprietary technologies to quickly and accurately discover novel modes of action capable of breaking weed resistance to herbicides.
At the heart of our company are the Moa values which guide our work and our behaviour: determined, empowering and transformative.

The role

This is a full time role at either Junior Scientist or Associate Scientist level (depending on your experience) in our High Throughput Screening (Galaxy) team in Oxford, playing a crucial role in executing manual and automated in vivo high throughput screening assays for the identification of molecules with herbicidal activity using liquid handling robots. The team conducts high throughput screening testing up to 25,000 compounds a month on tiny living plants to establish if each compound is effective and may have a novel herbicide mode of action.

You will be responsible for working in a busy HTS laboratory to conduct compound screening and profiling, using state-of-the-art liquid handling robots and imaging tools. Your role will be laboratory based with responsibilities including:

Day to day running of liquid handling robots for screening

Executing objectives and targets agreed with management and team leads, delivering work efficiently and effectively in line with company goals.
Following written or established protocols under appropriate supervision, carrying out routine experiments accurately and making basic interpretations of results.
Analysing data from established workflows, apply sound judgement to routine next steps, and escalate questions or concerns appropriately.
Working in accordance with company policies, procedures, health and safety standards, and applicable regulatory or legal obligations.
Contributing to reports, SOPs, lab meetings etc.
Working collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams.
You may also be involved in other activities to help the smooth running of our operations.
