Fermentation Scientist

Role Overview

We are seeking a proactive and highly skilled Scientist to join our Research & Development

team. This role is responsible for the end-to-end recovery and purification of biological

molecules. The ideal candidate will combine strong expertise in small-molecule downstream

processing with the ability to actively perform hands-on bench-scale experimentation and

support scale-up activities.

Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, and execute robust purification strategies to achieve high-purity product

recovery using techniques such as solvent extraction, column chromatography, advanced

filtration methods (including TFF), and crystallization. Actively perform and troubleshoot bench-

scale experiments and support the transition of processes from bench scale to pilot scale.

Ensure strict adherence to safety, quality, and documentation standards, and deliver projects

efficiently within defined timelines.

Technical Skills & Qualifications

• Education: Ph.D. or Masters degree in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering/

Biotechnology

• Experience: 6 to 10 years of hands-on experience in a laboratory-based R&D environment,

with a strong focus on downstream processing and purification.

• Analytical Expertise: In-depth knowledge of purification scale-up principles, process

optimization, and mathematical modeling.

• Soft Skills: Proactive problem solver with the flexibility to adapt experimental strategies

based on real-time data and project needs.
