Delft, Nederland TU Delft Voltijd

**Postdoc Computational Microbiome Ecology for Fermentation Technologies**:
**_Join a 3-year postdoc to advance a multiscale modeling framework tailored to decipher the ecological dynamics shaping fermentative microbiomes, ultimately optimizing sustainable bioprocess design._**

**Job description**:
Anaerobic fermentative microbiomes growing on organic carbon simultaneously employ multiple biochemical pathways to maximize free-energy conservation. Despite their significant relevance to health, environmental science, and biotechnology, predicting their stoichiometry, kinetics, and ecological behavior under varied and dynamic conditions remains a challenge. Key ecological questions that would enhance our understanding of microbiome assembly and dynamics are still unanswered. For instance: Can we consistently direct population dynamics, restore lost functionalities, or select specific interspecies interactions? To what extent does inoculum composition influence community structure and function?

Through this project, we aim to advance the integration of mathematical modelling in biotechnological laboratory experimentation. Biotechnological research has traditionally relied on empirical approaches, which are often slow and costly. Computational platforms like the one we will develop in this project will promote a more quantitative approach to ecology, facilitating rational bioprocess design and driving innovation in the field.
This project is part of a large interantional consortia that joins efforts to find best practices for manure treatment from a technological, economical and social scopes. With the developed and fully matured computational model, the simulation of the bioprocesses involved in cutting-edge technologies for the treatment of manure wastes will be approached, contributing to decision-making and design when selecting and optimising the technologies involved for different case studies.

**Job requirements**:

- Solid understanding of bioprocess technology with desired focus on the dynamics of anaerobic microbiomes.
- Strong programming skills in Julia, MATLAB, Python, or similar languages. Desired knodledge in physics and mathematical numerical methods.
- Proactive, curiosity-driven researcher with capacity to drive and balance multiple research tasks effectively.
- Proven ability to work collaboratively in a team-oriented and multidisciplinary environment, with a desire to collaborate with experimentalists and contribute to experimental data analysis and interpretation.
- Strong capacity for science communication. With desire to lead scientific publications and presentation of results to academic audiences.

**TU Delft (Delft University of Technology)**:
Delft University of Technology is built on strong foundations. As creators of the world-famous Dutch waterworks and pioneers in biotech, TU Delft is a top international university combining science, engineering and design. It delivers world class results in education, research and innovation to address challenges in the areas of energy, climate, mobility, health and digital society. For generations, our engineers have proven to be entrepreneurial problem-solvers, both in business and in a social context.

Challenge. Change. Impact

**Faculty Applied Sciences**:
With more than 1,100 employees, including 150 pioneering principal investigators, as well as a population of about 3,600 passionate students, the Faculty of Applied Sciences is an inspiring scientific ecosystem. Focusing on key enabling technologies, such as quantum
- and nanotechnology, photonics, biotechnology, synthetic biology and materials for energy storage and conversion, our faculty aims to provide solutions to important problems of the 21st century.
