Plant Biologist or Food Scientist

NuCicer is looking for a Scientist to join our R&D team. This individual will participate in the execution of a new breeding pipeline to develop a better processing chickpea. This role will be a cross-functional position at the intersection of the Ingredients and R&D Teams involving both the development and evaluation of chickpeas with improved agronomic, sensory, and cooking and processing traits. This position will require the development and execution of assays characterizing the processability of whole chickpeas, as well as functionality assays and sensory sessions to evaluate chickpea ingredients. Results of these experiments will inform our chickpea breeding program in which the individual will also participate. This will require routine greenhouse and field work related to chickpea breeding activities such as planting, crossing, and harvesting chickpeas.
