Introduction
We seek a tenure track candidate to join the MERLN Institute for Technology-Inspired Regenerative Medicine. MERLN was founded at Maastricht University in 2014 and has quickly become a leading institute in Europe. We are a team of 14 faculty members (principal investigators from Assistant to Full Professor level) and >100 PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers with diverse expertise and research interests, including biomaterials, cell biology, tissue engineering, biofabrication, microfabrication and -fluidics, nanotechnology, computational modeling, and bioinformatics. We share newly renovated laboratory facilities with state-of-the-art equipment. Our staff members are leaders in the field of biomaterials, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, for which we have a focus on engineering approaches, and we are particularly well-known for our orientation towards translational research.
Desired research profile
We are seeking a talented researcher who can add knowledge on Neuroregeneration.
The candidate has ample experience in regeneration of the central nervous system (brain and/or spine) after trauma (e.g. spinal cord injury, cerebral hemorrhage etc.) or due to degenerative diseases (e.g., Parkinson, ALS, etc.) using stem or progenitor cells and/or morphogenic cues and/or biomaterials. Determining cell faith and function is important. Morphogenic cues can be implemented as protein, gene therapy, small molecule therapy etc. The candidate has profound knowledge in in vitro (2D and 3D) and in vivo models including functional, molecular and cell biological assays. The candidate is expected to work closely with the Maastricht University’s School for Mental Health and Neuroscience (MHeNs) and Maastricht University Medical Center’s Department of Neurosurgery. Importantly, the candidate should complement our current knowledge and research activities in order to benefit our aims. Thereby tissue-nervous system interactions could be in the center, whereby the “tissue” is the expertise of another PI within MERLN (e.g. the PNS, endocrine systems, inflammation, vascularization). Research with a clinical orientation is considered a plus.
