Job Description
Are you excited by the idea of using microbial engineering to build foods with better nutritional profiles from the inside out? Eager to work at the interface of nutrition science, genetics, and ferme
Key Highlights
- Identify the rate-limiting nutritional features of the two chassis using data from the wider characterization workstream, and design strain engineering strategies to address them
- Engineer Aspergillus and/or Yarrowia strains to improve specific nutritional features (essential amino acids, vitamins, protein digestibility) without compromising taste, texture, or process performance
- Coordinate with the protein chemistry and in vitro digestion workstream to iterate on strain designs based on measured outcomes
- Contribute to the training of predictive models linking strain and process design to nutritional outcomes
- have experience with molecular biology techniques and, ideally, some exposure to genetic engineering of filamentous fungi or yeast
Qualifications
Required Qualifications
- have experience with molecular biology techniques and, ideally, some exposure to genetic engineering of filamentous fungi or yeast
- have a genuine interest in nutrition science and the biochemical basis of food quality
- be able to work both independently and as part of a large collaborative team
- be comfortable in an interdisciplinary environment where nutrition science meets microbial engineering
- be patient, curious, thoughtful, and playful — key qualities for exploratory work at the intersection of disciplines
