Offer Description

We are seeking 2-3 candidates with Master's degree for the development of scalable and advanced biofabrication technologies with a broad range of applications. One area is in cultivated meat where animal skeletal muscle cells and fat cells are assembled to make muscle tissue for human consumption. Another is development of scalable technologies for integration of vascular channels into biofabricated tissues to construct bulk human tissues from stem cells for regenerative medicine applications.

Ideal candidates will possess a Master’s degree in engineering with a focus in either chemical, mechanical or biomedical/biomaterials areas. Experience in cell culture, bioprinting, chemical surface modification, bioreactors and additive manufacturing of soft and biomaterials are desired. In addition, experience with microcontrollers, electromechanical devices and machining is also a plus.

If interested, please reach out to Prof. Ravi Selvaganapathy @ [email protected]
