    BACKGROUND

    Dow AgroSciences, based in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, develops leading-edge crop protection and plant biotechnology solutions to meet the challenges of the growing world. Dow AgroSciences is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company and had annual global sales of $7.1 billion in 2013.

    Dow AgroSciences seeks a Senior Systems Biologist for microbial applications. This position is located in Indianapolis, IN, USA.

    The successful candidate will join the Data Analysis Department within R&D's Information Technology and Data Analysis function and will interface with scientists within the Bioengineering and Bioprocessing R&D function as well as across Dow AgroSciences R&D. The candidate will use a combination of computational systems biology and bioinformatics approaches to drive hypothesis generation and target identification for targeted strain engineering and fermentation optimization.

    RESPONSIBILITIES

    Key job responsibilities include:
    • Computational analysis and modeling of microbial systems biology experiments, including integration and interpretation of -omics data (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, fluxomics) in combination with fermentation and functional annotation meta-data.
    • Identify key trends, networks and patterns in data and integrate with microbial physiology expertise to generate hypotheses.
    • Collaborate with scientists to generate leads and guide experimentation for hypothesis testing and validation.
    • Monitor emerging computational and data analysis technologies to accelerate program objectives and translate leads into actionable research activities.
    • As driven by project needs, build and sustain a technical network (internally and externally) that is deployed to ensure project success.

    REQUIREMENTS

    Applicants should have a Ph.D. or an M.S. with equivalent work experience in systems biology, biochemical engineering, bioinformatics, microbiology, statistics, computational biology, or a closely related field. Applicants should have a statistics or mathematics background and at least one degree in a data analysis field or equivalent work experience. Knowledge of microbial physiology and analyzing complex systems biology data sets for applications such as targeted strain engineering is essential. Prior experience in the application of systems biology approaches for fermentation-based product development is preferred. Knowledge of processing raw data, analyzing pathways and large genomics data sets, flux balance analysis or metabolic flux analysis is a plus.
