Duties and responsibilities

The position offers a unique opportunity to take part in developing new solutions for personalised and regenerative medicine and to connect materials research with 3D printing, bioprinting and practical biomedical applications.

Your work will mainly include:

• Developing, preparing and evaluating biomaterials for biomedical applications

• Developing and optimising polymer formulations, composites and bioinks

• Preparing reference materials and standardised test samples

• Designing, carrying out and evaluating materials and biological experiments

• Characterising the mechanical, chemical, rheological and biological properties of materials

• Evaluating the degradation, stability and biocompatibility of materials

• Optimising materials for 3D printing and bioprinting

• Analysing the relationships between material composition, the manufacturing process and the resulting properties

• Analysing the interactions between biomaterial, cells and scaffold

• Processing, statistically evaluating and interpreting experimental results

• Documenting experiments, methods and results

• Collaborating with experts from biological, medical, technical and data fields

Who we are looking for

Education

A master’s or doctoral degree (MSc./Ing. or PhD.) in biomaterials, polymer chemistry, bioengineering, biotechnology, materials engineering or another relevant natural-science or technical field.

What we expect

• Knowledge of the interactions between biomaterial, cells and tissue
• Experience with optimising materials for 3D printing or bioprinting
• Experience with microscopy and evaluating the morphology of materials
• Knowledge of methods for evaluating the porosity and structure of scaffolds
• Experience with degradation testing and evaluating degradation products
• Experience with preparing and characterising scaffolds
• Knowledge of GLP, GMP or GMP-like laboratory processes

What we offer

1. A unique opportunity to take part in delivering the CUSTOMED project within IPCEI Med4Cure and to be part of developing new solutions for personalised and regenerative medicine

2. The opportunity to take part in developing biomaterials from design and experimental verification through to their use in advanced biomedical applications

3. Work with modern technologies and methods in biomaterials, tissue engineering, 3D printing and bioprinting

4. The opportunity to connect materials research with practical biomedical applications

5. Work in an interdisciplinary environment, in collaboration with experts from biological, medical, technical and data fields

6. Room for professional growth, independence and your own initiative in designing experiments and developing material solutions

7. A stable working background, a modern laboratory environment and technological equipment

8. The opportunity to attend professional conferences, training and company events
