Our plant breeding focuses on cereals, oil crops, and forage crops and forms the first link in the chain from field to fork. By developing varieties adapted to the all parts of Sweden, we assist farmers in meeting the challenges posed by climate change and new consumer demands. We ensure that our customers have access to the best possible varieties, either from our own breeding programs or through in-licensing.

As Plant Breeder/Population Improvement you will develop prediction models for relevant traits, based mainly on genomic data, for direct use in our various crop breeding programs.

You will also, together with our biotechnology laboratory, take active part in building up a top-class infrastructure for genetic marker analysis and data processing.
