Computational Biologist

About AIxBIO

AIxBIO develops next-generation cell factories using advanced computational metabolic models, integrating bioprocess and cellular systems to improve the efficiency of industrial fermentation.

Job Description

We are recruiting a Computational Biologist to design, develop, and implement computational models for analysing and optimising biological systems relevant to industrial biomanufacturing. The work spans constraint-based metabolic modelling, analysis of gene-expression data, and analysis of bioreactor cultivation data. The role also involves developing new computational methods and bioinformatics tools, and contributing to cross-functional research projects on fermentation technology.

Main Responsibilities

• Develop and apply computational models of cellular metabolism.
• Analyse omics and bioprocess datasets.
• Design and implement bioinformatics workflows.
• Collaborate with experimental scientists and process engineers.
• Contribute to method and tool development.

Required Qualifications

• PhD in Biotechnology, Metabolic Engineering, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Systems Biology, or a closely related field.
• Documented research experience in computational metabolic engineering or metabolic systems biology.
• Working knowledge of data science and bioinformatics methods.
• Programming experience in Python, R, and/or MATLAB.
• Good written and spoken English.

Meritorious

• Experience with genome-scale constraint-based metabolic models.
• Experience with bioreactor cultivation, metabolic or genetic engineering, or microbiology.
• Experience applying machine learning to biological data.
• Experience with computational fluid dynamics or transport phenomena modelling.

Terms of Employment

• Full-time, permanent position with an initial six-month probationary period.
• Monthly salary: 45,000 SEK gross, set individually based on qualifications and experience.
