Université Laval • Québec City, Quebec • Posted June 19, 2026

Position Overview

Topic description

I am a newly appointed professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Université Laval, specializing in biomanufacturing.

I am looking to recruit one PhD student for a project in partnership with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC). By joining the project, you will benefit from:

  • A stimulating, multidisciplinary research environment
  • Access to cutting-edge facilities at the NRC facility in Montreal
  • A unique opportunity to contribute from the start to shaping the lab’s research directions, with close mentorship from myself and NRC researchers

    • The specific topic will be defined with the applicant. It will focus on the monitoring and modeling of biomanufacturing processes in Ecoli. Specifically, on building predictive models able to infer and optimize cell growth, product titer and product quality. 

    Data collection will be performed by the applicant by running multiple fermentation ba...
