Open Position - Director of Bioprocess Development - NebraskaProteins - 10-05-2012 The University of Nebraska is looking for a new director of its Bioprocess Development Facility (BPDF). The BPDF is a leading bioprocess research, development and cGMP manufacturing facility focused on vaccines and biotherapeutics derived from recombinant yeast and bacterial expression systems. Projects range from process research, development, and cGMP manufacturing of vaccines against biological warfare agents, to assisting small and large biopharma companies in bringing biotherapeutics to clinical trials. The cGMP pilot plant accommodates both recombinant bacteria and yeast expression systems at the 150 L-scale (working volume). Designed and built by AES CleanTechnology (clean rooms) and BioKinetics (process piping), the facility has state-of-the-art cGMP utilities, an established QA department, environmental monitoring, and a GLP compliant QC laboratory. The Director is expected to manage an externally funded program that includes basic and applied research, process development, analytical methods development and qualification, quality assurance and quality control units, and cGMP production of recombinant proteins. The director should have experience in microbial expression systems, scale-up of upstream and downstream bioprocessing, and managing cGMP processes. Industrial experience is preferred but not required. A doctoral degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering or a closely related field is required. Must meet qualifications for appointment as a tenured professor. |
