We are looking for a skilled and experienced Microbiologist with 2–5 years of hands-on experience in microbiological processes, media optimization, and bioreactor handling. The ideal candidate will support R& D or QC functions in fermentation, strain maintenance, microbial analysis, and yield optimization for industrial and cosmetic applications.
Key Responsibilities
Design and optimize culture media for microbial growth and product yield enhancement. Operate and monitor bench-top/lab-scale bioreactors for fermentation processes. Perform sub-culturing, strain preservation, and microbial storage (slant, glycerol stock, etc.). Calibrate lab instruments (e.g., p H meter, autoclave, incubator, spectrophotometer). Conduct biomass/yield analysis through gravimetric or spectrophotometric methods. Perform MLT for raw materials, in-process samples, and final products. Analyze purified water, RO water, and microbiological quality of water samples. Maintain detailed records of test procedures, observations, and results. Ensure proper aseptic handling, sterilization, and biosafety measures.



Qualifications
Education: M. Sc. in Microbiology (mandatory) Experience: 2–5 years of relevant lab experience in fermentation, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, or food industries. Key Skills
Solid knowledge of microbiological techniques and strain maintenance. Experience in handling secondary metabolites fermentation processes and yield analysis. Expertise in lab equipment calibration and troubleshooting. Familiarity with water analysis, MLT, and standard microbiological testing. Good documentation and observation skills; ability to follow SOPs. Basic understanding of GLP/GMP and laboratory safety norms. Preferred Experience
Exposure to downstream processing (e.g., centrifugation, filtration). Experience in cosmetic ingredient fermentation or biopolymer production. Knowledge of microbial screening and strain improvement techniques. How to Apply?
