Senior Scientist – Bioprocess Engineering and Scale-Up

Join SINTEF in Developing and Upscaling Next Generation Sustainable Bioprocesses

SINTEF is seeking a highly motivated and ambitious Senior Scientist in Bioprocess Engineering and Scale-Up to strengthen our research and innovation activities within industrial biotechnology, fermentation technology, and sustainable bio-based production systems.

The position will support and further develop demonstration activities related to major research and innovation initiatives, including the large EU-project PYROCO2 and SFI Industrial Biotechnology, as well as the operational development and staffing of new fermentation pilot facilities at SINTEF Tiller, Trondheim. We are looking for a candidate with strong expertise and several years’ experience in industrial bioprocess development, fermentation technology, downstream processing, and scale-up, combined with a passion for translating laboratory innovations into value chain implementation and industrial solutions that contribute to a more sustainable society.

About the Position

The successful candidate will play a key role in developing, operating, and scaling biological production processes for the conversion of a wide range of renewable feedstocks into:

• Sustainable chemicals and materials
• Advanced biofuels
• Novel feed ingredients
• Circular bioeconomy products

  You will work at the interface between research and industry, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams consisting of microbiologists, process engineers, biotechnologists, digitalization experts, and industrial partners.

  A significant part of the position involves supporting the operation and further development of fermentation pilot and demo facilities and driving the successful scale-up of fermentation processes from laboratory and pilot scale to demonstration and industrial production scale.
