Job Description

Can you translate fungal physiology into industrial reality?

Most fermentation roles are just "babysitting" established processes. This isn't one of them.

We’re representing a Chicago-based food-tech pioneer that needs a technical cornerstone someone who understands that fungal systems don't behave like bacteria and who actually thrives in the "roll-up-your-sleeves" reality of scale-up.

The Challenge: Beyond the Bench

This isn't just about running batches; it’s about defining the process architecture for a next-generation bio-product.

  • The Complexity: You’ll characterize the impact of physical parameters and shear stress on morphology to ensure lab success translates to industrial reality.
  • The Authority: You aren't just a data-entry scientist. You’ll own the media design, run the experimental strategy (DOE), and act as the lead SME for tech transfers.

Why this is a better "vehicle" for your career:

We know that for a Senior Scientist, the work matters but so does the reward for solving these hard problems.

  • Real Ownership: Through an Employee Stock Ownership Program, you’ll have a genuine stake in the company. When the process scales, you share in the value you created.
  • Total Peace of Mind: We cover 100% of your medical, dental, and vision premiums. Your take-home pay stays in your pocket.
  • Support for Life: A generous parental leave policy and a culture where technical rigor is valued over corporate politics. You’ll work with peers who actually understand the science, not just the spreadsheets.

Who you are:

You likely have a Ph.D. (or an experienced Master’s) and a track record in complex fermentation systems. You’re a "hands-on" leader who wants to see their work end up on a consumer's plate, not just in a research paper.
