National Research Council of Canada

Engineer synthetic microbial consortia for syngas-to-ethanol conversion at NRC’s Clean Energy Innovation program through laboratory research.

This two-year postdoctoral fellowship focuses on microbial community engineering within a multidisciplinary team. You will lead the design, construction, and experimental evaluation of consortia with complementary metabolic functions. The work supports higher-efficiency, more stable ethanol production and sustainable fuel technologies.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Isolate microbial strains thriving in syngas environments
  • Adapt strains through enrichment and adaptive laboratory evolution
  • Design synthetic consortia with complementary metabolic functions
  • Evaluate consortia performance in laboratory-scale bioreactors
  • Lead consortium construction and experimental evaluation

Requirements:

  • Ph.D. in microbiology, bioinformatics, environmental biology, or relevant discipline
  • Microbiology, molecular biology, or microbial ecology experience
  • Experience integrating genomic or metagenomic data
  • PhD obtained within three years or completion within six months
  • Ability to work full-time physically at the NRC location

Apply microbial ecology, genomic data integration, and consortium design to advance syngas fermentation research at NRC.
