• PhD in Biotechnology, Bioengineering, Biochemical Engineering or similar, with experience in mammalian / human cells culturing in bioreactors (minimum 5 years).
• Good knowledge of lab techniques : cell culture, bioreactors handling and design, programming strategies for bioprocess intensification, DoE.
• Experience in identifying and implementing process automation, monitoring, and control strategies to enhance reproducibility and process efficiency.
• Knowledge and experience in Bioprocess simulation and analysis (Matlab, Phyton).
• Experience in cell line phenotyping and characterization (Flow Cytometry, WB, RT-qPCR)
• Good level of English.
• Research experience in the production of ATMPs (hMSC, CAR-T, EVs…)
• Capacity to train undergraduate and Master students
• Participation in scientific articles and conference communications.
• Knowledge in GMP

Conditions

• Full-time (38,5 h / week)
• Incorporation immediately
