Job Description
Are you excited by the challenge of engineering fungal cells to become the foundation of a new global food category? Passionate about combining genetic tools with fermentation science to make food-gra
Key Highlights
- Design and execute genetic edits in filamentous fungi (Aspergillus) to attenuate biosynthetic gene clusters associated with mycotoxin production
- Characterize the resulting strains phenotypically and analytically, in tight coordination with the safety and analytical chemistry workstream
- Investigate how fermentation conditions modulate secondary-metabolite formation, and identify combinations of genetic and process changes that reproducibly reduce risk
- Contribute to the delivery of toxin-attenuated strain variants suitable for downstream prototype development
- have experience with CRISPR-based editing tools and/or homologous recombination strategies in microorganisms
Qualifications
Required Qualifications
- have experience with CRISPR-based editing tools and/or homologous recombination strategies in microorganisms
- have familiarity with secondary-metabolite biosynthesis and biosynthetic gene cluster analysis
- have some exposure to fermentation and/or bioprocess development
- be able to work both independently and as part of a large collaborative team
- be comfortable in an interdisciplinary environment spanning genetics, chemistry, fermentation, and regulatory science
- be patient, meticulous, curious, and collaborative — key qualities for engineering work in a shared platform
- strong desire for utilizing AI in the development of your research
