Syngenta is a leading agriculture company who supports farmers world-wide with their innovative crop solutions and technologies.

Every year Syngenta recruits students onto their 12 week summer placement programme. The schemes provide paid placements within their laboratories and glasshouses to support R&D operations. Throughout your placement, you'll contribute to live departmental projects and be given real responsibility.

Who can apply?

• School Leavers (minimum A-level in Biology and other relevant scientific subjects)
• University Students (recent graduates or those looking to gain experience over the summer break)

The placements are based at their R&D site in the UK in Jealott’s Hill, Berkshire. The roles are typically based in their glasshouse with some laboratory tasks where responsibilities can range from plant propagation and maintenance to herbicide screening so a keen interest in plant sciences is required.

Departments hiring Summer Placement students include Weed Control, Biological Sciences and Field Trials.
