That’s the project

Bioprocess development of a microbial fermentation process using digital and statistical tools. An existing process will be optimized. A design of experiment approach will be developed with a hybrid modelling software with the goal of developing digital twin of controlled stirred-tank bioreactors. Scale up of the process must also be implemented in close relation to industrial partner. Analytical methods must be developed and implemented. Media optimization approaches may also be performed.

That could be your future

You are working in an enjoyable work climate, have numerous possibilities for further education and personal development. You are part of a challenging and helpful work environment full of team spirit and enthusiasm for your job. You expand your expertise and bridge your science to industry.
