The Department of Food, Bioprocessing and Nutrition Sciences seeks applications from highly qualified scientists/engineers for a tenure‑track assistant or associate professor position in food fermentation and bioprocessing sciences. This position carries an 80% Teaching and 20% Research split. The primary teaching focus includes fermentation and bioprocessing science courses for undergraduate and graduate students. In addition to teaching, you will be expected to develop and maintain an independent and innovative research program in food fermentation and bioprocessing science and secure extramural funding from federal, industry, and/or other sources such as foundations, commodity groups, etc.

In this role you will work in a collaborative and interdisciplinary manner with other units within and outside of the university, such as the Golden LEAF Biomanufacturing Training and Education Center (BTEC), Biological and Agricultural Engineering, Chemical Engineering, etc. You will mentor undergraduate students, graduate students, and post‑docs in research and serve on committees within the department, college, and/or university.

Teach at least four courses per year at the undergraduate and graduate levels, including bioprocessing science, fermentation science, and other courses as needed by the program. The courses include existing core bioprocessing science courses and the development of core and advanced courses in fermentation sciences, such as a general introductory level course and a specialized course focused on fermentation of dairy, fruits/vegetables, wine, or spirits.

In addition, you will be involved in designing hands‑on laboratory modules in biomanufacturing, fermentation techniques, bioprocess monitoring and validation, and scale‑up principles. You will also serve as director of the undergraduate program for the bioprocessing degree program, which involves curriculum planning and review, annual assessment, and involvement with recruiting.

Establish a line of scholarship that is complementary to, but not duplicative of, current FBNS faculty and provides opportunities to mentor and engage undergraduate or graduate students in research. The…
