The Biomimetic Systems for cell engineering group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) Group is looking for a Senior Postdoctoral Researcher to work on the development and optimization of a new fabrication platform based on 3D printing, with integrated microfluidics and environmental control. The contract will be within the framework of the GUT3D-PLATE project; a Proof of Concept project granted by the European Research Council (ERC), whose objective is the fabrication of ready-to-commercialize 3D cell culture scaffolds mimicking the intestinal physiology.
Tasks and responsibilities:
- Provide technological solutions to the current project needs
- Development and integration of a microfluidic system in the fabrication platform
- Explore other techniques and possibilities to provide added value to the final product
- Design customized parts and assemblies
Requirements:
- Applicant must hold PhD in Biomedicine or Biomedical Engineering with +5 years of experience.
- Entrepreneurship and R&D&I skills.
- Expert on design and development of microfluidic devices.
- Proficiency in LabView, Matlab, Comsol. Other simulation software is a plus.
- Competencies and skills: Initiative and proactivity, Commitment, Communication, Teamwork and collaboration, Integrity, Critical and Analytical thinking.
