The Institute of Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering deals with knowledge-based scaling of bioprocesses and multi-scale bioprocess characterization as well as the development of robust bioprocesses with microorganisms and in cell culture applications. Another focus is the investigation of single cell physiology and population heterogeneities in bioprocesses using multiple reporter strains. In the course of the advertised position, biofilm formation of Streptomyces in tubular bioreactors for the production of antibiotics will be investigated.

Your Tasks

• Cultivation of different Streptomyces strains in a tubular bioreactor potentially across bioprocess scales
• In-depth analysis of cell physiology at single cell and population level
• Development and implementation of a bioreactor concept for investigating the behavior of productive biofilms in response to bioprocess gradients
• Mathematical evaluation of experimental data and basic modeling

Requirements

• Completed scientific university studies (master's degree or equivalent), in particular in Biotechnology or Bioprocess Engineering

Desired knowledge and personal skills

• Practical experience in cultivation in bioreactors at laboratory scale is mandatory, preferable also experience in bioreactor design
• Proven expertise in analysis of bioprocess samples on single cell and population level
• Ideally experience in working with fluorescent reporter strains
• Friendly, open-minded personality and great team player
• Willingness to participate in supervision of lab courses

Benefits

• Outside of duties, further scientific training is possible, the results can be used for a dissertation
• Intensive induction/onboarding
• Possibility of mobile working
• 30 day vacation per year
