About the Role The ARC Hub for Digital Bioprocess Development (home) is part of the Industrial Transformation Research Hub grant scheme (ITRH Scheme) and aims to assist the Biopharma industry by increasing digital innovation, productivity and competitiveness. The Hub has engaged an interdisciplinary team of engineers, scientists and computing specialists to develop digitally integrated advanced manufacturing processes and a platform for industry adoption. The program will address key bioprocessing research challenges and develop new process and digital models that can predict and optimise manufacturing processes, resulting in greater yields, faster and more flexible processes and enhanced product stability.
The Postdoctoral Research Fellow – Process Modelling is part of the ARC Digital Bioprocess Development Hub Research Program. This position will model process performance using mechanistic models for cell culture coupled with the emerging techniques of machine learning and data-driven computational modelling. The project will consider the effect of process intensification; it will consider fluid flow and heat and mass transfer, as well kinetic models, integrated with data driven approaches to build new bioreactor models. A range of computational fluid dynamics and other simulation tools may be employed.
Your responsibilities will include:
Independently planning and carrying out research on the research project and working towards completion of the aims of the project.Developing effective timelines and milestones based on goals of the research program.Liaising effectively with collaborators and a variety of internal and external stakeholders to foster collaborative partnerships.Preparing and publishing research outcomes in conferences and journals to a high academic standard.Contributing to the research group and assisting in co-supervision of PhD and masters project students.Who We Are Looking For
You will have:
A postgraduate research degree at PhD level (or near completion) in a relevant field.A sound understanding of the fundamentals of engineering including fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, process control and mathematical model development.A high proficiency in mathematics, preferably related to models.An understanding of bioprocessing and cell culture.A record of high-quality research as evidenced by publications.Ability to perform independent research with a commitment to interdisciplinary research.For further information regarding responsibilities and requirements, please refer to the attached PD.
