Microbia's Precision Engineering group applies 
molecular genetics and profiling methods to 
rationally design microbes for the efficient 
production of commercially valuable metabolites. 
Applications include the pharmaceutical, food and 
feed ingredient, and specialty chemical 
industries, as well as the developing area of 
industrial biotechnology.  We are located in the 
Kendall Sq. area of Cambridge, MA.  See 
www.microbia.com for more information.

With the recent growth of our business, we are 
seeking a Research Associate - Fermentation 
Development to join our product-focused project 
teams in Precision Engineering.  Project teams 
integrate the disciplines of microbiology, 
genetic engineering, profiling sciences, 
fermentation process development, and 
bioanalytical chemistry to rapidly develop 
microorganisms for biomanufacturing.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES MAY INCLUDE:
o	Operation and maintenance of small scale (2L and 5L) lab fermentors
o	Design and analysis of fermentation experiments
o	Fermentation process development
o	Preparation and analysis of biological samples
o	Microbial strain construction via 
molecular biology and classical genetic methods

QUALIFICATIONS:
o	BS or MS in microbiology or biochemical engineering.
o	Hands-on experience working with bacteria 
and fungi.  Previous experience with small scale 
fermentors highly desirable.
o	Strong communication skills and the 
willingness and ability to perform as a team 
member in a smaller collegial work environment.
