Day-to-Day Responsibilities
Plan phenotyping experiments with breeders, deciding which traits to measure, when, and on which plots or plants.
Set up and calibrate sensors and cameras, such as RGB, multispectral, thermal and chlorophyll fluorescence systems, in greenhouses and fields.
Run field and greenhouse trials, recording plant height, canopy cover, leaf area, biomass and stress symptoms on schedule.
Fly drones or manage fixed imaging platforms to capture repeatable images across many plots.
Process and analyse images and sensor data with software, extracting trait values and checking data quality.
Link trait data with genetic and environmental data, and prepare clear reports and dashboards for breeders and scientists.
