ILLINOIS ADVANCED RESEARCH CENTER AT SINGAPORE LTD.
Postdoctoral Researcher (PreFerS)
Singapore
FULL TIME
August 27, 2024
Postdoctoral Researcher at Pre Fer S
Introduction to The Centre for Precision Fermentation and Sustainability:
The Centre for Precision Fermentation and Sustainability (Pre Fer S) is a research program hosted by the Illinois Advanced Research Center at Singapore Ltd. (Illinois ARCS). The program aims to develop advanced fundamental sciences and technologies to implement fermentation-based production of foods and food ingredients, and also to enhance food security and sustainability in Singapore, particularly addressing the micronutrient food insecurity through precision fermentation.
About this Role
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to advance the sustainable design and deployment of technological solutions for reliable and cost-effective production of safe, nutritious, and delicious foods. This position is funded by the Centre for Precision Fermentation and Sustainability (Pre Fer S) and the Postdoctoral Researcher will join a strong cohort of faculty, Postdoctoral Researchers, and graduate students to work on research aimed at addressing global challenges in food production, environmental sustainability, and bioengineering.
Key Responsibilities
The Postdoctoral Researcher is expected to perform the following.
(i) Develop a systematic approach to screen processes and products in development by Pre Fer S researchers with market analysis and data from early-stage experiments and literature.
(ii) Integrate process modeling with techno-economic analysis (TEA) and life cycle assessment (LCA) under uncertainty to evaluate and prioritize research and development pathways.
(iii) Support the automation of process synthesis and optimization based on product/process features. Target outcomes of the work are to develop precision fermentation and food processing components for a suite of open-source, accessible computational tools for rapid and robust TEA and LCA of technologies that transform renewable carbon to products using a variety of feedstocks and processes (examples at https://github.com/Bio STEAMDevelopment Group ).
Qualifications
For prompt attention, candidates may email the following materials to Prof. Jeremy Guest ( jsguest@illinois.edu ), Prof. Yalin Li ( yalin.li@rutgers.edu ), Prof. Chueh Loo Poh ( poh.chuehloo@nus.edu.sg ) and Ms Jacqueline Koh (Jacqueline.k@iarcs-create.edu.sg) with the subject line “ Pre Fer S Postdoc ”: brief cover letter, curriculum vitae, names and contact information for three references, and up to two examples of scholarly output (e.g., published or submitted manuscripts). Shortlisted candidates will be contacted for further assessment. The preferred start date is October 1, 2024, but later in 2024 is also possible. Review of the application materials will begin immediately until the position is filled.
