Biotechnology Opportunities Stroh Brewery Company is one of the nation’s premier brewers. We offer outstanding career opportunities for talented professionals. Currently, we have positions available in the area of biotechnology.
Research Associate - Molecular Biology The position requires a PhD degree and experience in state of the art molecular genetics techniques. The qualified indtvidual will have a strong background in DNA chemistry. The individual will work in a small group of molecular biologists which will directly interact with fermentation and protein chemistry groups. The projects involve optimization of expression of heterologous proteins, development of secretion systems and construction of regulatory systems for gene expression.
Biotechnologist - Fermentation The position requires a B.S. degree with strong background in microbial physiology and biochemistry as well as some experience in fermentation. The individual will work in a newly formed group on the fermentation of recombinant yeast. The projects will involve both optimization of fermentation conditions for expression of heterologous proteins and pilot scale fermentations for the production of heterologous proteins. The qualified individual will be highly motivated and able to interact with both the molecular biology and protein chemistry groups.
