Energy Drink for cows to reduce enteric methane emission
The role:
Own Fermeta’s fermentation science. Ruminant nutrition has surprisingly little fermentation expertise; you bring classic biotech fermentation depth to design and optimize our postbiotic product.
What you’ll do
- Design, run, and iterate fermentation processes (strain and substrate selection, upstream and downstream, scale-up) for our postbiotic feed product.
- Translate lab-scale results into commercially producible recipes with our contract manufacturer (first 3,500 kg batch already in production).
- Run and interpret rumen simulation experiments (Menke method, in-vitro), improving bioactivity and reproducibility.
- Collaborate with University and our science lead on validation and the patented mode of action.
- Feed structured results back to the data team to sharpen the rumen model.
What you bring
- Degree in biotechnology, microbiology, or bioprocess engineering (PhD a plus, not required).
- Genuinely hands-on fermentation experience: you have run fermenters yourself.
- Comfort in an early-stage lab where you build processes from scratch.
- Fluent English.
Bonus:
ruminant nutrition, postbiotics, feed or food industry, scale-up experience.
