As a post holder, you will be an integral part of our team and you will perform high quality scientific research, developing and acquiring relevant skills. Your specific role will be to develop further the humanoid bioreactor platform (currently focusing on the shoulder) by looking at other joints such as the knee, wrist and finger. You will design and fabricate relevant chambers, contribute to the development of scaffolds, and interface with robotic teams and companies to support the development of suitable bioreactor platforms. You will be responsible for analysing, contextualising and interpreting biological and mechanical data, recording your findings in internal reports and/or publishing them in peer-reviewed journals. You will write and maintain protocols for data collection and analysis, as well as train and supervise graduate and undergraduate students as appropriate.
You will hold a PhD/DPhil (or near completion) in a discipline of direct relevance to tissue engineering or regenerative medicine. Outstanding experience and competences with bioreactor work, including design, experiments, and extensive experience with human primary or stem cell culture, is essential. You will have excellent communication skills and a proven track record in authorship of peer-reviewed publications in related fields. Experience with scaffold design, manufacturing and characterization is desirable.
