Plant Quantitative Genetics & Modelling
(https://careers.sciencenewzealand.org/jobdetails/ajid/9Zqi7/Scientist-Plant-Quantitative-Genetics-Modelling,4446.html)


You will join a world renowned team tasked with breeding improved
forages and enhancing breeding strategies, including Genomic Selection
and application of next-generation genotyping platforms, principally
Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS). The team comprises well established
scientists with expertise in a wide range of disciplines, and works
closely with producer groups and research and commercial partners, both
nationally and internationally.

Your enthusiasm and "can do" attitude to perform research, ability to
learn new skills, and excellent interpersonal skills will add value to
our team. This is primarily a quantitative genetics and plant breeding
research position with strong linkages to the biophysical modelling
team. You will:

 1. Collaboratively develop and implement quantitative genetic and
    biophysical models for simulating perennial ryegrass breeding
    strategies with reference to grazing industry objectives.
 2. Provide quantitative genetic support for Genomic Selection in forage
    species, and GBS approaches to genetic analysis.
 3. Contribute to implementation and leadership of forage plant breeding
    programmes.
 4. Conduct simulation modelling of forage nutrient interactions in
    pastoral systems.
