Description
At Wild Bio we are radically enhancing crops to feed the world sustainably and promote a wilder planet. Wild plants have had half a billion years to evolve natural solutions for thriving in almost every environment on Earth. Our proprietary genetics platform harnesses these wild innovations to enhance the world’s most important crops. Wild-enhanced crops would simultaneously boost farm yields and promote gigaton-scale carbon mitigation strategies. If you’re looking for a start-up that has enormous potential for impact on growers, consumers, and the planet, please read on.
Wild Bio is a well-funded, fast-paced Oxford University spin-out working from state-of-the-art labs and offices at Milton Park, Oxfordshire. We are about to enter an exciting phase of growth and are looking for a driven, and curious Research Associate or Scientist depending on experience to join us and significantly contribute to delivering the change we believe in.
Our values:
Our work is guided by three core values that define who we are and how we approach our mission:
If these values resonate with you, we invite you to join our team of passionate scientists and innovators working at the cutting edge of bioscience.

Requirements
Location
We’re headquartered in Milton Park, a business and technology park in Oxfordshire. While we do offer flexible and hybrid working, we are also a small, fast-paced team working on cutting-edge science, and we believe the relationships forged and the work we do in-person will be crucial for our success. For this reason, we are asking that applicants be able to work on-site at least four days a week.
The successful candidate will be required to provide proof of eligibility to work in the UK.
- An advanced degree in Plant Biology or Agricultural Research with at least 3 years of relevant work experience.
- A track record of developing methods to study crop performance in controlled environments and in the field, with experience growing Wheat and other row crops such as Soy, Maize etc.
- Working knowledge of statistical analysis methods and data visualization tools such as R, Python, or SAS.
- Experience with field trial design and analysis.
- Experience coordinating field trials with external parties including CROs and regulatory agencies.
- Ability to translate complex data insights into clear, actionable recommendations for non-technical stakeholders.
