Role• Lead the technical agenda for development of next generation microbes employing classical strain development techniques.
• Supervise a team of scientists.
• Develop and implement state-of-the-art classical strain improvement studies to establish protocols for and accomplish strain advancements.
• Evaluate and recommend appropriate external resources for rapid development of improved strains.
• Write and submit publications, presentations, patent applications and grants as needed. Prepare study reports to support process filings.
• Partner with R&D to build and manage technical projects based on defined project plans.
Typical Requirements
Experience in creating and implementing a research to scale-up program leading to the development and commercialization of proprietary and tailored microbes with an emphasis on classical methodologies to be used for subsequent microbial conversions of raw materials into products. Demonstrated ability and desire to work as a hands-on member of the laboratory research team. Role includes identification and management of qualified external resources, development and protection of the concomitant intellectual property created as well as involvement and delivery to workplans associated with grant writing and funding.
