Join a research project focused on developing new ways to make proteins using microbes and reactive gases. You will be part of an international team working on sustainable, non-agricultural food solutions. This work is part of the HydroCow consortium, which brings together experts from several countries to create innovative technologies for protein production.

• Develop high-throughput assays, often using fluorescence with biosensors or chemicals
• Test and characterize how well these assays work with lead strains
• Run large-scale screening campaigns with up to 1 million variant strains
• Share and report results in consortium meetings
• Coordinate tasks with partners from the HydroCow consortium

• Master's degree in molecular biology, microbiology, or industrial biotechnology
• Good communication and teamwork skills in English
• It is helpful if you also have some of these skills:
• Strong background in chemistry and spectrometric analysis
• Experience developing protocols from scratch
• Experience working under atmosphere control (such as in glove boxes)
• Ability to start promptly

• Challenging and inspiring work in an interdisciplinary team
• Applied research in a large international group with academic and industry partners
• Chance to develop technologies and protocols for commercial use
• Opportunities to build personal skills like writing, presenting, and project management
• Possibility to supervise students
• Participation in international conferences and workshops
• Work, teach, and research at ETH Zurich
• Inclusive and diverse work environment
• Commitment to sustainability and a climate-neutral future
