Job description

Company background/Role Purpose

Suntar International invites application for Fermentation Engineers position to join its newly formed Synthetic Biology department and contribute to efficient operation of R&D activities within the group. Suntar is committed to conducting extensive research through its internal R&D division and partners with research institute counterparts to identify, fund and develop promising products.

We are seeking a dedicated, self-motivated, and creative Fermentation Engineers specializing in synthetic biology, fermentation bioprocess, and microbiology. This position will be essential to building up our synbio engineering platforms.

Fermentation engineers are required in developing fermentation processes by implementing chemical and biochemical principles on microorganisms (especially E. coli, red yeast R. toruloides and baker’s yeast S. cerevisiae). Benchtop bioreactor (0.25-10L) skills are necessary; experiences in pilot-scale bioreactors (100-500L) are preferred.

Job Description

The job is to bridge between laboratory research in Suntar Synthetic Biology and industrial applications. He or she is expected to work closely with the molecular biologists and analytical teams to develop and optimize bioprocess. The candidates are responsible for optimizing benchtop bioreactors process, analyzing fermentation broth and bioproducts and maintaining the equipment. The candidates will also be involved in the operation of pilot-scale bioreactors (100-500L) to validate the bioprocess in the future.

Specific requirements:

1. Bachelor’s degree and above

2. Expertise in benchtop bioreactors (batch, fed-batch fermentation)

3. Experience in pilot-scale bioreactors (optional but preferred)

4. Experience with sample preparations for HPLC and GC analysis

5. Basic operation of HPLC and GC (optional but preferred)

6. Microbiology knowledge such as cell culture skills (optional but preferred)

7. Good communication and writing skills

8. Good team player

9. General lab management

Key responsibility:

• Conducting experiments on fermentations (batch and fed-batch fermentation). For example, conducting studies for determining the optimal conditions of cell growth and product formation, and preparing technical data and reports on experimental findings for reports and publications
• Working closely with chemical analysts and biologists for robust bioprocess development and updating knowledge on scientific, industrial and technological advances in the related field of fermentation engineering.
• Analytical analysis of fermentation products and materials with GCMS and HPLC.
• Evaluating the bioprocess and use the findings to design and conduct follow-up experiments.
• Designing or improving the biochemical fermentation processes for maximizing the production of high-value products (flavors, fragrances and nutraceuticals) and minimizing production costs.
• Assisting with downstream team for integration of fermentation and product purification. The issues related to fermentation, filtration and solvent extraction etc.
• Deliver clear and concise verbal (presentation) or written reports of each experiment conducted.
