Hi M***i, I’m J***e, an HR recruiter at StrategyBrain. I came across your profile and was impressed by your hands-on winter wheat breeding work at K***p and your ongoing research at Illinois State University. We’re partnering with G***s to hire a Breeding Research Associate, focusing on winter wheat trial design and data analysis. Would you be open to a brief chat to explore this opportunity? Best regards, J***e

Hi M***i, Great to hear you’re interested! I’d love to walk you through the Breeding Research Associate role and learn more about your winter wheat trial design and data analysis work. In brief, the role at G***s will have you: • Planning and executing winter wheat breeding trials in both field and greenhouse settings • Collecting, processing and analyzing phenotypic and seed data to drive variety development • Assisting with seed harvesting, cleaning and genotyping workflows • Collaborating with cross‐functional teams on experiment design, result interpretation and technical reporting • Contributing to detailed breeding records, grant proposals and research publications G***s prides itself on a collaborative culture, hands‐on training in cutting‐edge genomics tools, clear career progression paths and competitive compensation + benefits. Are you available for a 20,30-minute call this week? I’m free Wednesday (May 15) at 10:00 AM CT or Thursday (May 16) at 2:00 PM CT. Let me know what works for you, or feel free to suggest another time. Looking forward to our conversation! Best, J***e HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain (partnered with G***s)

Hi M***i, Great question. In this Breeding Research Associate role you’ll spend roughly 60% of your time in the field and about 40% in the greenhouse over the course of a year. During spring through early summer you’ll be out in winter wheat plots,setting up trials, scoring agronomic traits and harvesting seed. In the off-season (late summer through winter) you’ll shift to greenhouse work: managed crosses, early-generation plantings and controlled environment evaluations. You’ll sit within a dedicated winter wheat breeding team of about 8,10 people, reporting to our Senior Breeding Manager. The core team includes the lead breeder, two associate breeders, three research associates (like this role), plus greenhouse technicians and a data analyst. You’ll also collaborate closely with our genomics group, phenotyping specialists and downstream agronomy colleagues,so you get a true cross-functional experience. Does that help clarify? If so, would Wednesday, May 15 at 10:00 AM CT or Thursday, May 16 at 2:00 PM CT work for a 20,30 minute chat? Let me know what’s best for you. Best, J***e HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain (partnered with G***s)
