Advance biomaterials and biofabrication research at the Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery through bioprinting and cell culture experiments. This full-time post is fixed-term for 18 months.

As a Postdoctoral Research Scientist, you will work in Professor Dame Molly Stevens’s lab at the intersection of materials science, bioengineering, chemistry, and biology. You will design advanced biomaterials for therapeutics and regenerative medicine applications. Strong organization and project management will support complex, multi-team collaborations.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop and optimise micro-architectured constructs using bioprinting techniques
  • Investigate cellular interactions with biomaterials and physical cues
  • Translate mechanobiological insights into improved material designs
  • Plan and perform cell culture experiments evaluating bio-material interfaces
  • Support shared biofabrication and synthesis facility management

Requirements:

  • Expertise designing and fabricating advanced biomaterials
  • Interest in therapeutics and regenerative medicine applications
  • Strong organizational abilities for multidisciplinary research
  • Project management expertise for complex, multi-team projects
  • Ability to provide technical guidance and laboratory training

Apply biomaterials, bioprinting, cell culture, and project management expertise within Professor Stevens’s multidisciplinary research environment.
