Overview

Talam Biotech is leading the development of novel solutions that enable farmers to produce healthier, more sustainable food. At Talam, we leverage the power of naturally occurring soil microbes to reduce heavy metal content in food crops.

We are looking for a passionate, self-motivated Ph.D. Microbiologist who thrives on solving tough biological problems and turning ideas into innovations that work in the field. If you're excited by big challenges, bold science, and the chance to improve agriculture on a global scale, we want you on our team.

What You Will Do
  • Strain identification and characterization:
    • Use Talam Biotech's proprietary platform technology to identify microbial strains which can prevent heavy metal uptake into crops.
    • Develop methods that build upon and refine our microbe characterization protocols.
    • Lead efforts to define microbial mechanisms of action for mitigating heavy metal uptake in crops.
  • Explore microbial stress resistance pathways and/or plant-microbe interactions to design strategies that improve microbial fitness and efficacy to develop products that are robust, stable, and effective across diverse agricultural environments.
  • Partner with Formulation and Field teams to align on RD goals and to oversee successful translation of microbes from the lab to the field.
  • Engage with legal and regulatory experts to ensure RD efforts support intellectual property strategies and align with regulatory requirements.
  • Communicate findings and technical recommendations clearly to diverse stakeholders, including leadership and non-technical partners.
  • Stay at the forefront of microbiology and plant-microbe interaction research.
  • Mentoring of junior scientists and associates.
