Full Job Description

Create the future of agriculture! Farmers can lose the majority of their crops without pest control. At the same time, there are concerns with the toxicity and environmental impact of traditional chemical controls. These concerns have led to regulation and outright bans on specific pesticides around the globe. Farmers and society demand climate- and eco-friendly alternatives to control pests. Our company, Pheronym, turned to nature to win the battle against pests. We chose pheromones, communication signals, to protect our crops. Pheronym uses nematode pheromones to control agricultural pests, providing climate-friendly alternatives to soil fumigants and improving soil health. In other words, Pheronym enables farmers to control pests in the soil using climate- and eco-friendly solutions. A fermentation and bioprocessing scientist/engineer is needed to optimize fermentation of nematodes and downstream processing for small molecule production. It includes transitioning from shaker flasks to bioreactors
