Nantes, France Centeon Temps plein

Company Mission:

Centeon (stealth mode) is a low-carbon chemicals company. Our vision is to develop and to scale a breakthrough pathway for the low-energy, low-carbon production of commodity chemicals in service of today’s energy transition.


Job Mission:

We are looking for a research intern with a strong background in bioprocessing and an interest in industrial applications of biotechnology. This person will contribute to the development of our novel bioproduction platform for producing green chemicals. They will work closely with our Chief Scientific Officer and collaboratively with the rest of our world-class technical team. They will focus largely on experimental work (wet lab-based) around the setup, operation and maintenance of our proprietary bioreactors in our in-house designed experimental test station, for running and operating a large number of individual continuous flow reactors. The over-all goal of this workflow is the development and optimization of our proprietary bioproduction technique (based on an anaerobic microbial strain) for a key target chemical with a huge sustainability impact.


This is a great role for an early-stage researcher with a strong background in industrial biotechnology, bioengineering, microbiology or other life science disciplines and previous experience in doing wet lab-based research. The role is highly collaborative and we expect the candidate to directly integrate into our multidisciplinary team (with biologists, chemists and engineers), to share results, solicit feedback on their work and cooperate in developing our full technology stack. They will experience fast-paced execution in the world of early-stage R&D in a venture-funded startup and gain perspective on the development and industrialization of industrial biotechnology.


Competencies:

Ideal candidates for the role will have the following competencies and experience:

  • Currently doing a masters degree in microbiology, life sciences or a related degree
  • Track record and research experience: minimum of one previous “wet lab-based” internship (of at least 6 months)
  • Experience or familiarity with a few of the following: bioreactors, bioprocess engineering and optimization, continuous flow systems, microbiology, anaerobic metabolism, bioanalytical techniques, bioelectrochemistry, microbial electrochemistry
  • 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:

  • Paid research internship in 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
  • Internship salary, transportation and restaurant card subsidies
  • 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
