Job Mission:
We are looking for a research scientist/associate with a strong background in microbiology and genetic engineering. This person with own and execute experimental campaigns for the genetic modification of our bacterial strains for bioproduction, working closely with our Chief Scientific Officer and the rest of our world-class technical team. The work will involve end-to-end ownership of the microbial genetic engineering workflow: from anaerobic cultivation of microbes, plasmid design and modification, identification of target genes, transformation protocol development and optimization and phenotypic validation of the impact of gene manipulation on microbial growth and function. Short-term goals will include the generation of mutant libraries with the aim of optimizing strains for our novel bioproduction approach (geared towards a specific target chemical). Mid-term to long-term goals will include contributing to a broad understanding of emergent metabolic behavior of our microbe during long-term operation in the bioprocess and identifying other targets for genetic manipulation via comprehensive -omics screening.
This exciting position is a great role for an early-stage researcher (fresh MS/PhD graduate) with prior hands-on research experience in the genetic manipulation of microbes but no prior industry experience. It is a highly collaborative role and the candidate will be working with our multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers who are sprinting to develop and to deploy our novel bioprocess in customer sites by as early as spring 2025.
Competencies:
Ideal candidates for the role will have the following competencies and experience:
- Graduate degree qualifications in microbiology, molecular biology or a related life sciences field:
- For the Research Associate role: a masters degree or equivalent qualification
- For the Research Scientist role: a PhD degree or similar qualification
- Track record and research experience in microbiology and genetic engineering
- For the Research Associate role: a masters thesis involving experimental work on genetic engineering OR at least 1 intensive “wet lab-based” internship (6 months minimum) on genetic engineering
- For the Research Scientist role: a PhD thesis focused on microbial genetic engineering
- Experience working with microbes under anaerobic conditions is a strong plus
- Experience working on protocol development for non-model microbes is also a strong plus
- Strong interest in applying microbiology knowledge in industrial biotechnology and bioproduction
- Track record of being consistently organized in the lab and managing multiple projects running in parallel
Our Offer:
The perks of coming on-board at Centeon:
- A chance to be one of the first hires and to be part of the core team of an early-stage, high-growth start-up with ambitious impact targets around sustainability and the energy transition
- An international and highly multi-disciplinary working environment pioneering a unique innovation culture at the intersection of classic blue sky R&D, agile and lean start-up thinking (applied to hardware) and European academic excellence
- A competitive salary (commensurate to experience) + employee stock options
- Mentoring and career development aligned to your long-term personal goals
About the Company and the Founders:
Centeon is an early-stage green chemicals company based in Paris, France. Since incorporating barely a year ago, they have demonstrated key technical milestones that unlocked the support of select early-stage investors. The two founders (Jerome and Daniel) bring different and complementary experience, expertise and leadership by execution to their young team as they sprint to meet their technical and commercial targets. Daniel (Mexican) is a repeat biotech founder and has a track record of innovating in areas as diverse as cancer diagnostics to plant-based bioproduction. Jerome (Filipino) brings a track record in technology commercialization across many areas of hardware, in managing multi-million funded R&D projects and in coordinating partnerships with government and commercial stakeholders.
We believe that a diverse group of minds is key in building fast-moving, innovative and resilient organizations. We strongly encourage women and people of colour to apply. Studies have shown that under-represented candidates are less likely to apply for a role unless they feel they meet every single qualification. We are committed to building a diverse, inclusive and mission-driven team. If you’re excited about the position but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with what you read here, we encourage you to apply anyway
