Madison, United States University of Wisconsin - Madison Full time

The Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC), at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is looking to hire a highly motivated Leader of the Experimental Fermentation Lab (EFL), located in the Wisconsin Energy Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The EFL provides important research tools and activities for solving challenges in sustainable bioenergy and bioproduct production. The EFL provides pretreatment and deconstruction of GLBRC plant biomass to act as feedstocks for conversion into biofuels and bioproducts. The EFL performs small-scale and bioreactor-scale fermentations with yeast and bacteria in collaboration with GLBRC researchers. The EFL Leader will supervise a team of 2-4 personnel to provide fermentation, ammonia-pretreatment, and hydrolysate production services to GLBRC Scientists. Specific examples include (1) ammonia-pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis of plant feedstocks; (2) setting up bioreactors with deconstructed plant biomass for biofuel fermentations with yeast and bacteria; (3) working with other researchers in the Center to collect samples for proteomic, metabolic, and transcriptomic profiles of biofuel-producing microbes, and (4) generation of post-fermentation conversion residue or other carbon waste streams. The EFL Leader will also be in charge of overseeing the maintenance of bioreactor and deconstruction equipment, and overseeing the facility budget.

The GLBRC is a US Department of Energy (DOE)-funded Bioenergy Research Center consisting of research groups from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Michigan State University, and other universities focused on making the sustainable and cost-effective production of biofuels and bioproducts a reality.

Successful candidates will be creative microbiologists, chemical or fermentation engineers with a passion for tackling the world's energy issues through fundamental research, and collaborations with other trainees, staff, and scientists.
