As a world market leader in crop protection, we help farmers to counter these threats and ensure enough safe, nutritious, affordable food for all – while minimizing the use of land and other agricultural inputs.
Syngenta Crop Protection keeps plants safe from planting to harvesting. From the moment a seed is planted through to harvest, crops need to be protected from weeds, insects and diseases as well as droughts and floods, heat and cold.
Syngenta Crop Protection is headquartered in Switzerland.
The Formulation Technology Group (FTG) is looking for a Staff Formulation Scientist to join our team. FTG is the innovation research hub within Syngenta’s Product Technology & Engineering (PT&E) function, and our core mission is to develop and deploy new formulation technologies and fundamental understanding for agrochemical formulations for the crop protection market. Key research themes include: 1) competitive differentiation and robust product design for faster and effective go-to-market strategy, 2) optimized biological performance with enabling formulation technology to enhance active ingredient biodelivery and efficacy, and 3) materials selection and design for improved product safety, sustainability, and registrability with regulatory agencies.
As a Staff Formulation Scientist in FTG, you will conduct hands-on laboratory research both independently and collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams to design, prepare, and characterize novel formulations to meet technical project criteria. These formulations are often multi-phase, complex mixtures of various chemistries to stabilize and enable bioefficacy of one or more active ingredients. You will play an active role in discerning and defining technical project criteria as well, in consultation with Syngenta’s scientific and marketing communities. Self-motivation, enthusiasm for practical laboratory work, excellent organization skills, strong scientific curiosity, and an ability to creatively solve technical problems are all critical for the role.
As Syngenta is a global biotechnology and chemical company, you will collaborate with colleagues across multiple functions and geographies, so careful attention to detail and excellent communication skills will also be key to your success. We are looking for a scientist with a passion for learning and keeping current with technological advancements to innovate, exceed customer expectations, and actively contribute to Syngenta’s business success.
