(1) Conduct high-level research in synthetic biology and metabolic engineering, both independently and in collaboration with internal and external researchers.

(2) Perform experiments involving microbial pathway design, plasmid construction and strain development in microbes.

(3) Utilize advanced analytical techniques such as fluorescence microscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography for experimental validation.

(4) Develop research content and contribute to the writing of peer-reviewed publications.

Minimum Qualifications:

(1) Ph.D. in Synthetic Biology, Metabolic Engineering, Microbiology, or a related discipline.

(2) Extensive experiences in strain engineering and high-performance liquid chromatography.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience in culturing and engineering of lactic acid bacteria.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

(1) Strong wet lab skills in microbial pathway design, plasmid construction, and strain engineering.

(2) In-depth knowledge of microbial metabolism and gene regulation.

(3) Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary research team.

How to Apply:

Interested candidates should submit:

  1. A cover letter detailing their research interests and relevant experience.
  2. A curriculum vitae (CV) including a list of publications.
  3. Contact information for three references.

Shortlisted candidates will be contacted for further assessment.
