Scientist​/Sr. Scientist, Fermentation

We are looking for a talented Scientist/Sr. Scientist, Fermentation to join our R&D team. You will be working to develop microbial fermentation processes in the lab and scale up to CMOs.

The candidate hired for this position is expected to:

• Design and conduct experiments over a range of scales (mL through a few hundred liters) to optimize process conditions for product candidates in various stages of development.
• Participate in cross-functional teams (strain development, analytical chemistry) and collaborate on multiple projects to support development of selected microbial fermentation processes.
• Prepare reagents, buffers, and other materials for bench-scale fermentation and DSP.
• Maintain clear and accurate lab notebooks and author technical reports.
• Regularly present work and findings during group meetings.

We are seeking a highly motivated, hands‑on team‑player with excellent problem‑solving skills and good understanding of yeast physiology and bioprocesses. Versatility is a must, as tasks will involve a range of reactors and scales and process modes. The ideal candidate will have the following background/skill set:

• M.S. or Ph.D. in Yeast Genetics, Microbial Physiology and/or Biochemical Engineering.
• Hands‑on working knowledge with laboratory and pilot‑scale process equipment, strong hands‑on experiences with bioreactors for microbial culture and aseptic techniques.
• Strong understanding of bioprocess development (cell‑free, microbial, and/or mammalian cell‑based) and fermentation processes.
• Strong organization skills in experiment recording and data summary with strong attention to details.
• Ability to communicate and work collaboratively in a team environment.
• Effective and strong problem‑solving capabilities is a must.
