Senior Postdoc position: Biomimetic Systems for Cell Engineering 1016 views

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.
• High level of English, both writing and speaking.
• Previous experience with 3D printing/bioprinting and rapid-prototyping techniques is desirable.
• Previous experience in product development is highly valuable.
• Previous experience in a research laboratory, knowledge of standard laboratory procedures and manipulation of standard equipment.

How to apply:

Application should be sent to [email protected] including CV, cover letter and the contact of two referees (Reference: SR-EM).
