Global Manufacturing Technology (GMT) is seeking a hands‑on, postdoctoral‑level scientist to improve the potency and yield of a Mycoplasma fermentation process.
Responsibilities
Plan and lead upstream studies to improve Mycoplasma fermentation performance, with emphasis on product potency and process yield.
Design and execute bench‑scale fermentation experiments; evaluate relevant process variables and use structured experimental approaches to identify key drivers of performance.
Operate and troubleshoot laboratory bioreactors and maintain appropriate aseptic technique and process documentation.
Characterize fermentation outcomes using appropriate growth, process, yield, and potency measurements; analyze results and communicate clear recommendations.
Optimize and assess downstream recovery steps, including depth filtration and chromatography, and understand how upstream conditions affect downstream performance and product quality.
Requirements
PhD in microbiology, biotechnology, biochemistry, biological engineering, chemical engineering, or a related discipline; candidates with a master’s degree and 5+ years of directly relevant experience may also be considered.
