Scientific Staff / PhD Student (m/f/d) in Sustainability and Life Cycle Assessment for Cellular Agriculture

26.07.2023, Wissenschaftliches Personal

The Professorship for Cellular Agriculture (Prof. Dr.-Ing. Marius Henkel) was established in September 2022. Cellular agriculture is a multidisciplinary field that explores biotechnological solutions to the environmental, ethical, and sustainability challenges of conventional animal agriculture. Our research focus is the development of alternative proteins for food applications, through high-performance microbial bioprocesses (“precision fermentation”) and tissue engineered cultured meat from animal cells.

Requirements
We are looking for applicants with a Master’s degree in biotechnology, bioengineering, bioeconomy cell biology, molecular biology, or a comparable field of study, preferably with a background in life cycle assessment (LCA) and
techno-economic analysis (TEA) or an affinity towards these research questions.
- Basic knowledge in bioprocess design, bioengineering and/or mathematic modeling
- Affinity towards research question in life cycle assessments, techno-economic analysis
- Advantageous: experience in up-scaling, bioeconomy, and decentralized business models
- Proficiency of the English language, both written and spoken
- Interest in and enjoyment of scientific research questions especially in the area of cellular agriculture

Tasks
Depending on suitability and personal profile, potential tasks include but are not limited to:
- Perform LCA and TEA of a defined process for cultivated meat with material cycling
- Optimize the process, also applying mathematic modeling, to improve yield and sustainability
- Independent work on research projects
- Close cooperation with project partners from academia and industry
- Publication of research results in leading journals
- Supervision of student projects as well as cooperation in lectures
- General lab management and operational responsibilities

What we offer
Compensation according to TVL-13 (65%), initially limited to 3 years. The possibility to do a PhD is given and desired.
A very good working atmosphere in an interdisciplinary, international, open-minded and helpful team.
The opportunity to actively participate in exciting topics and research projects in the area of cellular agriculture.
