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 Associate Scientist level in our TARGET team, based in the Oxford Science Park.

The TARGET platform is one of Moa’s proprietary technologies, using a high-throughput genetic screen to elucidate the modes of action of hit compounds via identification of resistance mutations.

As an Associate Scientist, you will execute biological assays within TARGET’s pipeline to contribute towards the collaborative elucidation of modes of action for hit compounds. Your work will help to identify genes and/or genetic pathways associated with plants’ response to novel herbicides whilst working closely with a multi-disciplinary team of scientists, with the aim of diversifying the toolset farmers have available to tackle weeds. The position provides an exciting opportunity to apply plant biology assays in a stimulating modern laboratory environment, to support and accelerate both target identification and validation work.

Key responsibilities

Effectively record and communicate experimental results to the rest of the TARGET team, and to your project team.

Bring enthusiasm and creativity to problem-solving and optimisation discussions, improving the performance of the team and our company.

Knowledge and experience

A demonstrable interest in plant biology.
Capacity to learn new skills and willingness to take on responsibilities within and beyond the core function.
Detail-oriented and results-driven individual with experience in a laboratory environment.
Strong IT skills, including spreadsheet-based data management.

Desirable

Relevant experience with plant science/molecular biology/biochemistry/genetics preferred. Masters’ qualification and/or industry experience desirable.
Experience working effectively in a team to deliver on measurable objectives.
Good knowledge of lab health and safety rules.

Personal attributes and competencies

A proactive work ethic and enthusiasm for learning.
