Key Business Accountabilities1. Develop and implement strategy to evaluate and identify Ex EU germplasm source for LDB program in Europe. Establish germplasm evaluation trials with ex-Europe germplasm, inbred and hybrid observation under diverse environmental conditions, and leveraging Lines to identify Ex-Europe germplasm that is working across these geographies.2. Ensure F1 and F2 populations are being developed with diverse germplasm for LDB utilization across geographies. Design crosses with genomic tool and bring diverse haplotypes3. Utilize available germplasm data, product information and local observation across Bayer breeding program to identify the best germplasm sources for Europe. The goal is to enable EU breeders to fully leverage the germplasm knowledge across the different heterotic pools.4. Drive our germplasm and native traits introgression, work closely with INTL LDB CB lead for the implementation of our global corn germplasm diversity strategy. Work with the NA-LAN,LAS and EU leadership team to manage diversity5. Coach and mentor Europe Breeders on global germplasm knowledge, diversity, QTL and haplotype introgression.Scope of the Job 1. Work across a team of commercial and line development breeders in Europe to lead the most effective deployment of diverse germplasm in the region, from the other relevant world regions.2. Strong interface with breeders and regional leads of other regions, in relation to germplasm, precommercial pipelines and seed import logistics.

Key Business Accountabilities1. Develop and implement strategy to evaluate and identify Ex EU germplasm source for LDB utilization in Europe. This may include but not limited to establishing germplasm evaluation trials with ex-Europe germplasm, inbred and hybrid observation under diverse environmental conditions, and leveraging SC1 and later stage data to identify Ex-Europe germplasm that is working across these geographies. 2. Ensure F1 and F2 populations are being developed with germplasm for LDB utilization across these geographies.3. Utilize available germplasm data, product information and local observation across Monsanto regions to identify the best germplasm sources for Europe. The goal is to enable EU breeders to fully leverage the combined germplasm knowledge of global breeders across the different heterotic pools.4. Drive our ex-EU germplasm introgression and utilization efforts, and work closely with INTL LDB lead for the implementation of our global corn germplasm diversity strategy. Work very closely with the NA EU leadership team Program on germplasm introgression for LDB and CB’s in Europe.5.

Select germplasm, develop and implement a creative and efficient breeding plan with the purpose of selecting superior commercial products in assigned maturity.-Take into account both performance of the new hybrids and new parent lines to positively influence cost of goods.-Understand and leverage the diversity of germplasm available from the Global breeding network (europe, US, LAS, LAN) as well as molecular tools in the development of the breeding plan.- Analyze data from testing program. Make recommendations for advancement to higher levels of testing including commercialization.Collaborate with other research stations to exchange ideas, plots, germplasm, data and other items to maximize performance of the team.Project lead on Fusarium ear Rot and support for phytopahologyTravel to outlying stations and winter nursery (Chili, Mexico).
