Opportunity: Metabolic engineering for biomanufacturing

This position is open to US citizens only. We are seeking a motivated student to join our team for research in strain engineering, which focuses on modifying microorganisms to enhance their capabilities in producing valuable chemicals, improving stress resilience, or optimizing metabolic pathways. In this role, you will have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge genetic engineering techniques, including modifying gene expression, and evaluating performance under different culture conditions.
We welcome applicants with experience in the following areas:
•Biology
•Genetics
•Synthetic Biology
•Microbiology
•Systems biology
•Bioengineering
Some preferred skills include molecular cloning techniques, RT-qPCR, microbiology techniques, aerobic microorganism culture work, media formulations, and plate reader assays. This is an opportunity to grow skillsets in synthetic biology and biomanufacturing in a high caliber research environment.
The major deliverable is identifying methods to increase flux towards a desired pathway through genetic engineering and/or bioreactor method development.
