Junior researcher & scientific staff roles

Not every research career starts with a PhD vacancy. Many institutes hire scientific staff to run trials, manage labs, analyse data, or support breeding and field programmes. This page maps those roles to our Jobs for Researchers catalog.

Common titles you will see

  • Research technician / research assistant — hands-on experimental or field support.
  • Scientific officer / junior researcher — project delivery with more independence.
  • Research engineer / data specialist — instrumentation, modelling, or digital agriculture.
  • Scientist / senior scientist — leadership of work packages (often after a PhD).

How we filter the catalog

Jobs for Researchers focuses on agriculture and related life sciences. Use country and discipline filters to narrow institutes — then open the original vacancy for contract type, salary band, and required degree.
