As a Postdoc in bioprocess modelling and new technologies, you will be a key enabler for our aspirations to advance on the field of model-based development and optimization, as well as contribute to our innovation strategy. You will function as subject matter expert on in-silico modelling, data, and digital initiatives in close collaboration with experts within the Biologics community.
About the Role
Preferred start date : August 2025
Duration: 2 years
Location: Campus Basel
Your Responsibilities:
Your responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Develop mathematical models (mechanistic, data-driven, hybrid) to characterize the production system (cellular, USP or DSP units, etc.) and its dynamic including uncertainty modeling.
- Design experiments in the context of model-based experimental learning to support the model development activities.
- Perform model verification and validation activities including historical and new data and convert model outcomes into practical relevant information for the purpose of process optimization/characterization.
- Identify and influence model-based and data driven initiatives.
- Contribute and function as a subject matter expert to the establishment of in-silico models in accordance with our data & digital strategy.
- Be proactively identifying challenges, proposing solutions, and communicating key issues to internal customers and partners.
- Align and collaborate with external vendors (if needed) to establish and implement innovative model-based solutions.
What you will bring to the role:
- A PhD in relevant fields such as bio-chemical engineering, bioprocess technology, applied data science or similar with a strong background on process modelling (mechanistic, statistic and hybrid models) and optimization.
- Demonstrated programming skills (Python, R, and/or MATLAB), and knowledge of Machine Learning algorithms.
- Knowledge of USP/DSP (continuous/connected) processes, with the interest and ability to work on either field.
- Excellent ability to build collaborative relationships and a can-do mindset.
- Effective communication and presentation skills
- Proven ability to manage and prioritize multiple tasks.
- Agility to adjust to a fast-changing working environment.
