Scientific Researcher (f/m/d) in the area of “biomaterial development for stem cell processing”.

Updated: almost 3 years ago
Location: Germany,
Job Type: FullTime
Deadline: 11 Aug 2021

The Chair of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (TERM) of the University Clinic Würzburg cooperates closely with the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research (ISC) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Biomedical Engineering (IBMT) in developing biomedical workflows for the industrial application of induced pluripotent stem cells. In cooperation, we create novel bioreactor systems for an autonomous stem cell culture under high-throughput conditions. Another focus is the design of smart (bio-)material-based scaffolds for stem cell tissue engineering.

To expand our tranlational research team in near-term, we are looking for a

Biochemist or a scientist with similar educational background (f/m/d) in the area of “biomaterial development for stem cell processing”.

What we offer:

  • High-quality equipped laboratories
  • Diversified working environment
  • A comprehensive network in science, clinic and industry
  • An interdisciplinary working atmosphere with cooperative and highly motivated colleagues
  • Family friendly working environment
  • Regular meetings within the interdisciplinary working group
  • Excellent career progression opportunities and participation at conferences
  • Possibility to realize a postdoctoral qualification (habilitation)

Your research tasks are:

  • Application and testing of newly synthetic hydrogels for the expansion and differentiation of stem cells
  • Functionalisation and biomimetical structuring of hydrogels
  • Development and testing of hybrid materials
  • Application of hydrogels in 3D printing
  • Integration of vascular structures into the hydrogels
  • Biological and Physico-chemical material analyses, e. g. SEM, rheology, biocompatibilty assays
  • Documentation, evaluation and presentation of the results
  • Project management and supervision of technical staff
  • Supervision of students (bachelor, master, doctoral fellows)
  • Publication of the results in scientific journal and presentation on international conferences
