Advance Plant Science with R&D that Delivers Real-World-Impact

BioLiNE® Corp. is a Canadian technology development company focused on advancing the next-generation of plant biostimulants necessary for profitable and sustainable crop production. Over the past decade, we have developed a pipe-line of crop-input technologies, with several products being sold commercially that are helping growers improve yields, maximize inputs, and tolerate abiotic stress factors such as heat, drought, and poor soil conditions. Our technologies are marketed under various brands across Canada, the U.S. and E.U. Key focus of our research program is to deepen the scientific understanding of how these technologies influence plant metabolism, gene regulation, and physiological performance.

We are seeking a driven, high-capacity research scientist to join our team. There is potential to roll-over the contract into a permanent position depending on the success of the candidate during the contract and their fit with our long-term R&D strategy.

You will work directly in our Alvinston research lab on the development and optimization of novel biostimulant and biocontrol solutions. You will work on the design and execution of specific research projects investigating how biostimulants interact with plants at the biochemical, molecular, and physiological levels. You will also contribute to the development of the R&D strategy, direction and priority.

Core areas of focus include:

• Design and execution of in-vitro and in-vivo experiments on plants, soils, and plant pathogens.
• Transcriptomic analysis (RNA-seq) to evaluate gene regulatory responses.
• Metabolomic profiling to characterize pathway-level shifts.
• Advanced biochemical assays to quantify metabolic activity.
