Job description

Plant Pathologist

We are seeking a Plant Pathologist to lead disease monitoring, prevention, and research initiatives within a controlled environment cultivation system. Reporting to the Senior Manager Plant Science, this role will focus on microbial dynamics, pest and pathogen management, and the development of disease-resistant cultivars in collaboration with cross-functional teams.

Key Responsibilities

Disease Monitoring & Microbial Analysis

  • Conduct microbial identification (Micro ID) in flower products to ensure quality and compliance
  • Analyze microbial populations across different cultivation locations and environments
  • Track microbial trends over time during the flowering cycle
  • Partner with QA to develop reporting frameworks for microbial trends and risk factors

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

  • Design, implement, and optimize IPM strategies
  • Evaluate the effects of IPM practices on disease incidence and crop yield
  • Collaborate with cultivation teams to ensure effective and practical deployment of IPM protocols

Plant Health Diagnostics

  • Investigate and determine causes of plant stress symptoms, including yellowing and reduced vigor
  • Diagnose biotic (pathogens, pests) and abiotic (nutrient, environmental) factors affecting crop performance

Pathogen & Viroid Research

  • Lead HLVd (Hop Latent Viroid) testing strategy, including sampling protocols and best practices
  • Study transmission pathways and spread within cultivation systems
  • Evaluate genetic susceptibility and resistance to HLVd and other pathogens

Genetics & Breeding Collaboration

  • Work with biotech and breeding teams to identify and develop pest- and pathogen-resistant cultivars
  • Contribute to research on genetic mechanisms underlying resistance traits

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with Cultivation to improve plant health outcomes and implement disease mitigation strategies
  • Work with Quality Assurance (QA) on microbial monitoring, data interpretation, and reporting
  • Collaborate with Biotech/Breeding teams on long-term resistance strategies

Long-Term Objectives

  • Maintain low microbial load in flower products
  • Minimize pest and pathogen pressure across cultivation environments
  • Establish data-driven IPM and disease monitoring systems
  • Contribute to the development of improved, disease-resistant cultivars

Qualifications

  • PhD or MSc in Plant Pathology, Plant Biology, Microbiology, or related field
  • 1-2 years of relevant experience, experience may come from field work through graduate school
  • Experience with plant disease diagnostics and microbial identification techniques
  • Familiarity with IPM strategies in controlled environments
  • Experience with molecular diagnostics (e.g., PCR-based pathogen/viroid detection) preferred
  • Strong data analysis and cross-functional communication skills
