We are seeking a motivated and analytical Research Officer to join our team working on the techno-economic analysis (TEA) of biomanufacturing. You will play a key role in evaluating process economics, modeling production scenarios, and supporting the development of cost-effective and scalable bioprocess technologies.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist in developing process models of biomanufacturing workflows (e.g., cell expansion, media use, scaffolding, bioreactor operations).

• Conduct techno-economic analysis to estimate cost of goods (COGs), capital expenditures (CAPEX), and operating expenses (OPEX).

• Perform sensitivity analysis and Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate economic risk and scalability.

• Conduct literature reviews and extract quantitative data on yield, productivity, and cost assumptions.

• Support interdisciplinary discussions with bioprocess engineers

• Contribute to internal reports, grant proposals, and potentially peer-reviewed publications.

• Present findings clearly through visualizations, dashboards, and technical memos.

Requirements

• A Bachelor degree in Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology, Industrial Engineering, or related discipline.

• Strong interest in sustainable biomanufacturing.

• Excellent analytical skills with attention to detail.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel; basic knowledge of Python, R, or MATLAB is a plus.

• Strong communication and teamwork abilities.

• Self-motivated, curious, and eager to learn about emerging biotechnologies.
