Crop Genebank Head of Service

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a crop genebank Head of Service to join the Crop Genetics Department at the John Innes Centre.

About the GRU Team

The Germplasm Resources National Bioscience Research Infrastructure (GR-NBRI, also known as the Germplasm Resources Unit, GRU) at the John Innes Centre houses biological seed collections. The GR-NBRI aims to capture the broadest possible diversity of the gene pool of the UK’s major strategic crops and their crop wild relatives, thereby supporting plant science and crop improvement through breeding. We focus on wheat, pea, barley and oat germplasm. The collections include crop wild relatives, traditional landraces, adapted and elite cultivars, derived lines, mapping populations, and induced (mutagenized) diversity panels. The seeds are stored in a specialised cool-dry chamber to extend their shelf life and are regenerated according to a 20–30-year cycle plan. The germplasm-associated data is catalogued in an in-house-tailored management system and public database (SeedStor). You can read more about the research here.

The role

The Head of Service is the first point of contact for both external and internal users of the seed collections. They triage seed requests submitted through the team’s bespoke public database and direct each request to the appropriate team member. They also provide guidance on the most suitable germplasm choices to maximise efficient use of the public collections, enhance output delivery, and ensure cost-effectiveness.

The post holder manages seed import and export to support smooth genebank operations and enables JIC scientists to exchange seed with international collaborators. This includes liaising with users to secure correct documentation and coordinating with the Animal and Plant Health Agency to obtain phytosanitary certificates, plant passports, and other required permits for a diverse international user base (the GRU supports users in 52 countries, including plant scientists, breeders, educators, and farmers).

They will oversee GRU cost-recovery charges, maintain service documentation and records through internal management systems, and supervise the curation of germplasm-associated data, including legacy and newly generated datasets.

The role requires an innovative leader who delivers high-quality service while driving continuous improvement in seed conservation, distribution, and use. Priorities include implementing molecular barcoding for quality control and assurance, improving user training through clear guidance and short videos, increasing efficiency via standardised templates and automated communications, strengthening or developing SOPs, and enhancing the use of phenotypic and genetic/genomic data to support informed germplasm selection.

As a member of the GRU, the Head of Service is encouraged to plan, conduct, and publish applied research that improves service delivery, either directly or by supervising MSc or BSc (Year in Industry) projects. They will also promote the service at meetings, field demonstrations, and GRU visits for diverse user communities.

The ideal candidate

The candidate should have a PhD in crop sciences or in closely related fields or alternatively have significant experience in crop gene-banking/ seed production industry in a senior position.

Genebanking requires a broad set of skills and expertise and it is not expected that the candidate will master all the necessary aspects of seed conservation and germplasm utilisation when they join the team. Training will be provided to close necessary gaps and for continuous personal development.

However, experience or profound understanding of some of the following will be advantageous: Crop seed production, seed longevity, plant pathology, crop genetics, genomics and field phenotyping. Experience in working with biosciences data and operating a database resource is also desired.

Job Title: Regional Advocacy Coordinator

Reporting To: Advocacy Director

Location: Remote – preferably for candidates based in the Francophone region
on the continent.

Contract Type: Full-time

Duration: 12 Months possibility for extension

Compensation: 25k - 30k (USD)

WHO WE ARE:

“Remaking the world with and for girls”

Purposeful is a movement-building hub for adolescent girls and young feminists.

We resource their resistance, accompany journeys of political education, build

solidarity between and across movements, amplify their voices, catalyse

collaborative philanthropy and support innovation in grassroots programming

with and for girls and young feminists.

Our work is both global and deeply local. In Sierra Leone, we bring our work

together into one integrated strategy, sparking a groundswell of girls and young

feminists who can access and imagine new possibilities for themselves and their

communities. We move money to their allies to influence change, from

communities to courtrooms. Across the world we support girls’ and young

feminists’ organising and activism through a girl-led participatory grant-making

process called the With and For Girls Fund. In times of crisis, we move money

rapidly to girls and young feminists organising on the frontlines via the Global

Resilience Fund.  No matter where we are, we work so that girls and young

feminists can access the resources, networks and platforms they need to

remake the world for themselves.

Purposeful is a proudly feminist organisation, with a strong intersectional power

analysis. We pursue strategies that prioritise the collective liberation of girls. We

are looking for team members who share our feminist ideals. We believe the

best work happens in dialogue, and we value collective decision-making. We

believe in celebrating success, amongst staff and partners alike. We are looking

for team members with a deep commitment to collaborative working, and who

bring a sense of joy and humour to what can be challenging work.

We pride ourselves on our diversity, the multiple languages we speak and

places we live. We are all parents or have other caring responsibilities. We

prioritise work-life balance, many of us have other projects and passions outside

of Purposeful. As a team we prioritise opportunities for learning, sharing, and

embedding different worldviews. We are looking for team members who thrive

in diverse and cross-cultural contexts, and who bring passion, creativity and a

thirst for learning to their work.

We are our partnerships. We are most proud of the shared vision we have built

with our partners - rooted in mutuality, trust, and collaboration. We are looking

for team members who will work tirelessly to rebalance power disparities in

funder-partner relationships, acting as responsible stewards of resources of and

for our movements.

CONTEXT OF THIS ROLE:

The Regional Advocacy Coordinator will play a key role in advancing
Purposeful’s feminist advocacy efforts across Africa, with a particular focus on
designing and piloting the Special Advocacy Grant, a small, opportunistic and
flexible fund that will resource survivor and activist-led storytelling, direct action,
healing, and narrative change; enabling survivors to define justice in their own
terms and activists to target specific policy wins, shifts in public discourse, and
transformation of power structures.  This role will also strengthen transnational
movement collaboration.

This role combines strategic coordination, grantmaking, and learning — helping
to connect regional advocacy priorities, movement-led resourcing, and feminist
political education. The person will work closely with the Advocacy Director, the
Resourcing Resistance (R&R) and Insight & Learning (I&L) teams, as well as
movement partners, to ensure that Purposeful’s advocacy work is grounded in
movement realities and responsive to emerging political trends in the region. The
Regional Advocacy Coordinator may also serve as a media spokesperson of
the organisation.
