Research Associate (PhD/PostDoc) – Ultra- and Diafiltration Optimization in Bioprocessing

10.10.2024, Wissenschaftliches Personal

We are looking for a talented individual to join the TUM Bioseparation Engineering group as a Research Associate (PhD/PostDoc) for leading research on ultra- and diafiltration process optimization in bioprocessing. The role includes developing mechanistic models as part of a hybrid approach, integrating advanced analytics to monitor critical process parameters, and contributing to the predictability and efficiency of filtration processes in biomanufacturing.

We are looking for a talented individual to join the TUM Bioseparation Engineering group as a Research Associate (PhD/PostDoc) for ultra- and diafiltration process optimization in bioprocessing. The successful candidate will lead research on scaling and optimizing filtration processes, focusing on process automation with advanced models. You will integrate analytics to monitor critical process parameters and utilize hybrid models to inform process optimization. Additionally, you will develop mechanistic models as part of a hybrid approach to improve the predictability and efficiency of filtration processes in biomanufacturing. Collaboration with interdisciplinary teams and contribution to high-impact scientific publications and conference presentations are expected.

Applicants should hold a university degree in (bio)process engineering, bioengineering, biotechnology, biomanufacturing, or related fields. Expertise in membrane filtration, process optimization, and advanced data analysis techniques is required. Proficiency in modeling and simulation tools is essential, and experience in hybrid modeling approaches is an advantage. Strong communication skills in English are required, with knowledge of German being beneficial but not mandatory. A passion for innovation and developing new methodologies for biomanufacturing is essential.

At TUM, we offer an exciting international environment and a very well-equipped workplace. You will benefit from diverse further education opportunities (TUM Institute for LifeLong Learning, TUM Language Center), public sector pension provision, annual special payments, and TUM health offers, including TUM university sports. The position is full-time according to TV-L, depending on qualifications and personal suitability, and is initially limited to 2 years.

The position is suitable for people with severe disabilities. Severely disabled applicants will be given preference if they have essentially the same suitability, ability, and professional performance. TUM aims to increase the proportion of women in research and welcomes applications from women.

We look forward to receiving your meaningful documents (including cover letter, CV, and all relevant certificates). Please send your application, quoting the keyword "Filtration," by email to: s.berenmeier@tum.de.
