Biomanufacturing: Bioprocessing of vaccines, viral vectors, mRNA, recombinant proteins or other commercially
relevant biologics; novel bioreactors or scale-up and scale-down approaches; downstream processing of biologics;
bioprocess intensification; process analytical technologies and process control applied to biologics; omics
technologies for bioprocess optimization; continuous biomanufacturing.
Candidates should have a Ph.D. and preferably, an undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering. Evidence of
