Special Seminar: Career Opportunities in Technology at Monsanto Company
Janet Hogan, Technology HR Lead

Thursday, April 16
11:45 PM – 12:45 PM
Location – Cherry Emerson room 322

“Monsanto’s Technology organization is a multi-functional, multi-crop organization comprised of the five broad areas of Biotechnology, Breeding, Breeding Technology, Regulatory, and Chemistry.  The research and development these groups collaborate on is based on an unmatched technology platform of chemistry, biochemistry, genomics, biotechnology, and plant breeding.  The company’s R&D pipeline has a proven track record of products that are proprietary, first to market, and profitable.

Janet Hogan, HR Lead in the Technology organization at Monsanto Company, will be on campus to discuss career opportunities within Technology. Specifically, she will highlight a new rotational program that will engage incoming scientists in cross-functional training across three different areas of the organization over a 3 year period (e.g. Biotechnology, Breeding and Breeding Technology). This program is targeted to top talent who are recent PhD or Post-Doctoral graduates educated in one of the areas including, but not limited to, Plant Physiology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Plant Breeding, Quantitative Genetics, Crop Science, Toxicology, Plant Pathology, and Plant Biology.  The purpose of this cross-functional experience is to broaden scientists’ understanding of the business and strategy so they can help deliver on Monsanto’s commitments while cultivating and enhancing their own leadership skills.

Monsanto is the world leader in agriculture biotechnology.  Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, and operating in over 60 countries, Monsanto applies innovation and technology to help farmers around the world produce more while conserving more.  In addition, Monsanto helps farmers grow yield sustainably so they can be successful, produce healthier foods, better animal feeds and more fiber, while also reducing agriculture’s impact on our environment.”
