Research Assistant in Biomaterials for Bioprinting

Overview

A Research Assistant position is available for an outstanding biomedical engineer to undertake research in the field of biomaterials for bioprinting. This is a unique opportunity to join Dr. Domingos' group on an industry-sponsored project aiming at the design of new collagen-based inks for 3D bioprinting of human tissues.

You should have, or be working towards, a degree or equivalent in biomaterials, biomedical engineering or similar. Expertise in polymeric hydrogels design and characterization, 3D bioprinting, tissue engineering, biocompatibility testing, and rheological testing techniques are essential.

You should be capable of working autonomously, delivering pre-defined milestones and outputs in a timely and efficient manner, so excellent organisational skills are required. The appointed research assistant will also be supporting Dr. Domingos by report writing and communicating outputs to the industrial partner and more broadly to the scientific community.
