Field Scientist

Field Research & Experimental Development Plan, design and execute field research programs aligned with project and business objectives. Contribute to the development of protocols for concept evaluation, product development and biological characterization. Design and conduct internal field trials to evaluate efficacy, crop safety, dose response, application timing, application methods and product performance. Identify appropriate trial locations, crops, target pests/diseases/weeds and experimental approaches. Evaluate trials scientifically and ensure timely, accurate and high-quality data generation. Identify opportunities to improve experimental design, trial methodology, data quality and research efficiency. Regulatory & External Trial Management Plan, coordinate and supervise regulatory bio-efficacy and residue trials conducted through CROs, universities, ICAR institutes and other research organizations. Ensuring protocols, trial execution, data collection, documentation and reporting meet applicable regulatory and Corteva standards. Monitor trial progress, data quality, timelines and deliverables. Coordinate sample collection, sample logistics and analytical requirements associated with regulatory studies. Support preparation and review of regulatory efficacy reports, data summaries and technical documentation. Scientific Data Analysis & Interpretation Analyze and interpret field research data using appropriate statistical and scientific approaches. Integrate data from multiple locations, seasons, environments and research partners to develop meaningful biological insights. Translate experimental results into clear scientific conclusions, recommendations and business-relevant insights. Prepare trial summaries, technical reports, presentations and recommendations for internal stakeholders. Provide recommendations on product performance, dose, application timing, positioning and technical differentiation. Product Development & Commercialization Support Provide field-science inputs to product development and lifecycle-management decisions. Monitor product technical performance across geographies, crops and target pests/diseases/weeds. Identify emerging biological challenges, resistance issues, competitive developments and opportunities for new research. Support the Commercial and Technical teams in addressing product-performance-related complaints and providing appropriate scientific/technical guidance. Support product launches, technical positioning, field demonstrations and knowledge-transfer activities as required. Stakeholder & External Collaboration Build and maintain effective working relationships with universities, ICAR institutes, CROs, research organizations and relevant industry stakeholders. Collaborate effectively with Global and Regional R&D, Regulatory, Product Development, Commercial, Marketing, Agronomy and other cross-functional teams. Represent IFS/Corteva in relevant scientific and technical forums when required. Proactively communicate technical risks, opportunities, trial outcomes and recommendations to stakeholders. Safety, Stewardship & Compliance Ensure all field research activities are conducted in accordance with Corteva's safety, quality, stewardship, regulatory and ethical standards. Maintain a strong personal and team safety culture during field operations, product handling, transportation and trial execution. Ensure appropriate documentation, data integrity and compliance throughout the research process. Demonstrate strong commitment to responsible use and stewardship of crop protection technologies. Administrative & Operational Responsibilities Manage field research activities within agreed timelines and budgets. Coordinate procurement, sample movement, trial materials and other operational requirements. Maintain accurate trial documentation and research records. Complete administrative and reporting requirements associated with assigned projects. Effectively manage multiple projects and
