Full Job Description

The Donald Danforth Plant Science Center is launching a multi-lab research initiative to improve food and cover crops for global food security, agricultural sustainability, and innovation. To support this effort, we are recruiting multiple full time benefits eligible scientists to join laboratories across the Center. These positions span a shared portfolio of projects that incorporate gene editing, plant transformation, quantitative genetics, and analytical biochemistry.

This is a single call for several openings at our independent, nonprofit research institute located in St. Louis. We encourage mission-motivated candidates with backgrounds in any of the skill areas described below to apply; applications will be matched to the laboratory and project that best fit each candidate's expertise and interests. Successful candidates will work in a highly collaborative, well-resourced environment with access to the Center's world-class core facilities, including the Plant Growth Facility, Plant Transformation Facility, the Advanced Bioimaging Laboratory, the Bioanalytical Chemistry Facility, the Data Science Core, the Phenotyping Facility, and the Danforth Field Research Site.

Responsibilities:

Independently designs and conducts research, develops and presents reports based on research findings.
Investigates the feasibility of applying a wide variety of scientific principles and theories to potential inventions and products.
Maintains knowledge of state-of-the-art principles and theories.
Assists PI in writing research reports, grants and proposals, and may serve as co-PI.
Mentors graduate students and junior lab members on research techniques and protocols.
Makes contributions to scientific publications and participates in conferences in their fields.
Writes and assembles sections of patent applications and/or scientific papers of broad scope within and outside their immediate area of expertise.

Required knowledge, skills, and abilities:

Demonstrated ability to design, execute, and direct independent research
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; capable of handling complex and multidisciplinary datasets
Excellent written and verbal communication skills for publications, proposals, and team leadership
Experience mentoring students or junior staff in research settings
Track record of scholarly publications and contributions to the scientific community
Understanding of intellectual property, scientific publishing, and research grant processes
Capacity to think creatively and strategically about new research directions
Collaborative spirit and the ability to engage with cross-functional and cross-disciplinary teams
Live the Danforth Center values: Collaboration, Diversity & Inclusion, Innovation, Integrity & Respect, Environmental Sustainability, and Stewardship

Who we're looking for

We are hiring across a range of participating laboratories and research areas. Depending on the position, projects address challenges such as increasing yield and nutritional quality in cassava, sorghum, cowpea, and maize; engineering disease and drought resilience; developing cover crops and perennial grains for regenerative agriculture; advancing plant transformation and gene-editing platforms.

Gene editing and molecular biology

CRISPR/Cas design and multiplexed editing in crop species, construct assembly, and molecular characterization of edited and transgenic lines.
Plant transformation, tissue culture, and regeneration, including work with recalcitrant genotypes and morphogenic regulator systems.
Trait engineering through overexpression, targeted knockout, and gene stacking (e.g., disease resistance, biofortification).

Genomics, computational biology, and AI

Quantitative and population genetics, GWAS, genomic and phenomic prediction, and pangenome-enabled analyses.
Machine learning and computer vision applied to image, genomic, environmental, and process data — including predictive models for transformation efficiency and decision-support tools.
Bioinformatics and data integration across multimodal datasets, with strong programming skills (e.g., Python, R) and reproducible workflows.

Plant Biology, physiology, biochemistry, soil science, and microbiology

In-field high-throughput phenotyping to evaluate developmental timing and trajectories, reproductive and vegetative yield, below-ground architecture and root anatomy, and senescence dynamics.
Analytical characterization of grain and root quality — protein digestibility, amino acid profiling, mineral and phytate content, and processing effects.
Plant–microbe interactions, including plant-virus interactions, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and engineered microbial consortia for soil health.
Crop physiology related to regenerative agriculture systems, nutrient-use efficiency, water-use efficiency, drought and heat resilience, and stress tolerance.
Plant–soil interface dynamics, including the characterization of soil structure, chemical composition, and gas flux profiles within diverse cash and cover crop systems.

Qualifications

A PhD in plant biology, molecular biology, genetics, plant breeding, physiology, biochemistry, computational biology, agricultural engineering, agroecology, or a closely related field.
A record of scientific productivity, including peer-reviewed publications.
Specific requirements vary by laboratory; relevant hands-on experience in one or more of the skill areas above is expected for each position.

How to apply

Submit a cover letter (clearly indicating your areas of expertise and any project areas of particular interest), a curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references through the Danforth Center careers portal at danforthcenter.org/careers. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until all positions are filled.
