Job Title: Research Scientist - Plant Biostimulants                                             

Location: On-site, Alvinston, ON, Canada

Job Type: Full-Time Contract (Two-Year)

Compensation: $70,000 - $95,000

Deadline for Application: Mar 16^th, 2026

Email Application Package to: [email protected]

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.

Scientific Scope of the Position

This role is ideal for a recent MSc or PhD graduate who wants responsibility, ownership, and the opportunity to help grow a company. 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.
• Molecular characterization of formulation composition and structure.
• In-vitro and in-vivo plant response studies focused on biocontrol of pathogens.
• Robust statistical modeling of complex biological datasets.

What Differentiates This Position from Other Opportunities

As a member of the R&D team for a small, innovative and rapidly growing technology development company, your research will influence both scientific knowledge and commercial product development with opportunities to publish research results and contribute to patents and IP development. This is not a position requiring routine or repetitive lab work. It’s independent science, with responsibility for hypotheses, workflow, and communication of results. You will help design the experiments, challenge assumptions, interpret the data, and push the science forward.

• Your work will directly influence commercial products.
• You will contribute to peer-reviewed publications, IP development and potential patents.
• You will make presentations at industry and scientific conferences.

This is a growth opportunity for someone who wants to move fast, take ownership, and build something durable.

Who Should Apply - Who We're Looking For

We are seeking driven MSc or PhD graduates in:

• Plant Biology and pathogen
• Biotechnology
• Biochemistry
• Molecular Biology
• Plant Physiology
• Or a closely related discipline

You are a strong candidate if you:

• Have hands-on experience in plant science research.
• Have experience studying crops, crop pathogens, and biocontrol modes of action.
• Are comfortable with transcriptomics or metabolomic approaches.
• Can design and execute independent experiments.
• Understand statistical analysis of biological datasets.
• Communicate clearly in writing and in presentations.
• Want to work hard and build long-term value.
• Take initiative instead of waiting for instructions.
• Thrive in small, focused teams.

We value intellectual rigor, execution discipline, and scientific curiosity grounded in real-world application.

Personal Attributes That Matter Here

• Self-motivated and disciplined
• Highly organized and detail-oriented
• Adaptable in a fast-moving environment
• Comfortable with responsibility
• Passionate about translating science into impact

We are building something substantial. We need people who want to help build it.
