Design experiments to study the chemical and physical principles of living things and biological processes. Develop metabolically engineered organisms for use in novel bio-based chemical processes. May perform additional duties that are similar and consistent with stated position requirements.
Qualified candidates must possess a Master’s degree in Biochemistry or closely related field plus 3 years of experience. Of the required experience, must have 2 years of experience in each of the following:
- Industrial metabolic engineering to develop commercial cell factories
- Molecular biology and microbiology techniques for plasmid and strain construction
- Development and application of expression optimization approaches including CRISPR to generate industrially relevant engineered strains
- Microbial physiology and small-scale fermentation of engineered strains
- Orchestrating multi-disciplinary scientific activities for characterizing microbial physiology and small-scale fermentation of engineered strains
- Applying synthetic biology techniques for elucidating and reconstructing complex biosynthetic pathways in microorganisms
- Genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, omics-driven hypothesis generation, and novel target identification for Rational Strain Design and Engineering
