Research Fellow (Civil Engineering)

The School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering invites applications for the position of Research Fellow.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and characterize novel biodegradable, biocompatible materials and tissue scaffolds with controlled drug delivery capabilities for neural tissue engineering & stem cell engineering.

• Design, optimize and fabricate tissue scaffolds (e.g. hydrogels, injectable scaffolds, electrospinning, 3D printing)

• Characterize scaffold properties: physical, drug/gene release kinetics, cell/tissue interactions, degradable, etc.

• Design and execute experiments independently.

• Expected to interpret experimental results, and author papers in high-quality journals in areas that are related to the research.

• Demonstrate excellent communication skills and have a strong passion and commitment to science.

• Work closely with the Principal Investigator to help supervise and train junior lab members and to ensure smooth functioning of an active research program.

• Expected to work in a collaborative inter-institute environment.

• The candidate will have the opportunity to explore his/her own interests across functions.

Job Requirements:

• Ph.D. level scientist with relevant background and experience.

• Published experience in biomaterials & scaffold design, fabrication and characterization, controlled drug/gene delivery design and characterization. 

• Published experience in evaluation of cellular response/interactions/functionality in response to scaffolds using western blotting, immunostaining, qPCR, fluorescent microscopy (confocal) imaging, functional assays is a plus.

• Experience in scaffold fabrication techniques like electrospinning, 3D bioprinting is a plus.

• Strong ability to communicate effectively orally and in written form.

• Strong ability to perform self-directed work.

• Strong organizational skills and proactive personality with outstanding motivation, creativity, critical and analytical thinking skills, strong scientific commitment and ability to work as a team.

Interested applicants are invited to submit a cover letter and full CV in one document.

We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
