Please post the following positions on your job web site. thank you DuPont is a world leader in research in the chemical and biological sciences, including fundamental and applied research programs ranging from industrial bioprocesses for the synthesis of chemicals and materials to genetically improved crops and discovery of crop protection chemicals. We are now seeking Ph.D. Principal Investigators, as well as M.S. and B.S. support staff to join multidisciplinary teams of Life Scientists. Microbial Physiology and Fermentation The Bioprocess Development Center has a position available for a Principal Investigator in microbial physiology and fermentation. The successful candidate will join a team of enzymologists, molecular biologists and engineers to develop and scale up fermentation processes for production of chemicals. The candidate should have a Ph.D. in microbiology, biochemistry, biochemical engineering or a related field, extensive knowledge of microbial metabolism and experience in fermentation development and quantitative analysis of fermentation. Please refer to: CRD98-2115A Bioprocess Development A position is available with the fermentation group of the Bioprocess Development Center for someone with an interest in research and development of fermentation processes for production of industrial chemicals. The person who fills this position will be responsible for cultivation of microorganisms in flasks and fermenters, fermenter set up and operation, and analysis of samples and results. The candidate should have a B.S. degree in microbiology, biochemistry or a related field, experience in aseptic techniques and in cultivation of microorganisms, and familiarity with fermentation and related instrumentation. Please refer to: CRD98-2126A A second position is open in the Fermentation Research Facility of the Bioprocess Development Center. The successful candidate who fills this job will provide analytical support for fermentation research studies. The job will include analyzing fermentation samples and communicating the results. This position may require second shift operations. The candidate should have a B.S. degree in chemistry or a related area with additional experience in analytical chemistry, experience in operating and maintaining analytical instruments, familiarity with computer databases and spreadsheet software, and good general mechanical and electronic trouble shooting skills. Please refer to: CRD98-2126B Microbial and Industrial Biotechnology The Microbial and Industrial Biotechnology group has two Principal Investigator positions available for microbial physiologists. The focus of the group is to discover the enzymes and the genes of new bacterial or fungal biochemical pathways, as well as to engineer new organisms for industrial applications. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in microbiology or a related field, a strong knowledge of microbial diversity and metabolism, and extensive experience in microbial biochemistry using either analytical tools such as HPLC, MS, NMR or molecular genetics methods. Specialists in other forefront approaches to microbiology such as genomics, population microbiology or image analysis will also be considered. Please refer to: CRD98-2119 The Microbial and Industrial Biotechnology group has an opening for a support scientist in the research area of identification of novel enzymes and pathways for biocatalysis. Candidates should have a M.S. in microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry or a related field. Working knowledge of flow cytometry and cell sorting, experience with robotics and automation, and computer programming skills would be highly desirable. This position also requires familiarity with aseptic technique, growth and maintenance of bacterial cultures, molecular biology techniques, biochemistry and enzymology techniques including operation of analytical instrumentation, light and fluorescent microscopy, image analysis, and familiarity with microbial systematics and phylogeny. Please refer to CRD98-2115B Whether you are just starting your career or looking for growth opportunities, we encourage you to apply. We are looking for highly motivated individuals who can become members of our research teams to enhance both our success as well as their own. You will enjoy our state-of-the-art Experimental Station and Glasgow facilities. These positions offer a highly competitive salary and an excellent benefits package. We are located in Wilmington and Glasgow, DE, an area that offers an attractive lifestyle with easy access to all the cultural, academic and recreational activities on the Eastern Seaboard. Qualified candidates should send a resume and three references to: DuPont Human Resources, CRD98#, 1007 Market Street, N12419, Wilmington, DE 19898. We are an equal opportunity employer. Please make reference to the job code when responding.
