Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key word here is « demonstrable »: this is not about someone who simply uses CRISPR, but someone who has already advanced the technology. The application should show a before and after, with a clear improvement in efficiency, precision, or system architecture, ideally backed by a publication or patent. The strongest approach is to foreground one sharp achievement and make the rest of the CV support that proof. Concretely, start your application with the clearest example and submit it through the careers page without delay.

Countries covered

Eligible candidates are those with a PhD in plant molecular biology, plant genetics, plant science, or a related field, together with demonstrable experience in plant genome editing. The decisive word is « demonstrable »: you need to connect your results to a real improvement in genome editing, not just to the use of existing tools. Direct experience with base editing, prime editing, or HDR is a strong signal for this role.
