PhD and Postdoc Positions in Cell Engineering and Metabolic Engineering for Cultivated Meat Delft University of Technology in Netherlands

Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is advertising PhD and postdoc openings in the area of cultivated meat, with a strong focus on cell engineering, metabolic engineering, and mammalian cell line engineering. The post is shared by Joshua Flack, Assistant Professor at TU Delft, who appears to be recruiting for the UP-CELL project.

There are three opportunities mentioned: a PhD position in metabolic engineering, a 2-year postdoc in cell engineering with a range of possible projects, and a PhD position in modelling-inspired cell engineering in collaboration with Cees Haringa and his group. The research theme is clearly oriented toward engineering and evolving cell lines for large-scale cultivated meat production.

This is a good fit for candidates interested in biotechnology, cell line development, bioprocess-related engineering, and modelling-informed biological design. The post does not provide detailed eligibility criteria in the excerpt, but the job ads likely contain the full requirements and application instructions.

Funding details are not stated in the post excerpt, though the postdoc is explicitly a 2-year position and the PhD roles are formal university openings. Applicants should consult the TU Delft job pages for the full description, deadline, and submission portal.

Application links are provided in the post for each role, and the poster notes that there are still a couple of weeks left to apply.
