Offer Description

Job description:

As a consequence of increasing average life expectancies and increasing physical activity, such as high impact sports, our bodies constantly experience high loads, which may lead to contusions. The number of musculoskeletal injuries, causing dysfunctions and chronical pain, requiring medical interventions, is constantly growing. Especially vulnerable are zones where different tissue types are in contact, such as hard bone and soft muscle. They are characterized by a complex structure, with a gradual change in the architecture, composition, cell types and properties. Therefore, the healing is very difficult and currently available medical solutions are not satisfactory. The main aim of our research program is to create a functional reconstruction of interface tissues by combining melt electrowriting technique with 3D hydrogel bioprinting to obtain gradient, multifactorial, bio- instructive scaffolds.

The offered position is funded by NAWA Polish Returns homing grant and NCN OPUS grant received by dr hab. Malgorzata Wlodarczyk-Biegun.

Requirements:

We are looking for a highly motivated, open-minded, and creative person who enjoys working with other people in a multidisciplinary environment. A PhD degree in biology, biomaterials, biomedical engineering, material science, or similar is needed. Candidates should have expertise in eukaryotic cell biology, cell culture, and studying cell-material interactions; working with small bioactive molecules, drug carriers, nanoparticles, growth factors, and peptides; microscopy (light, fluorescent, confocal) and preferentially bioprinting. Experience in research on immunomodulatory or antibacterial materials is a plus. Proficiency in English , in speaking and writing, is required. Foreign internships and publications in international peer-review journals will be highly rated.

You will contribute to the goals of the project by focusing on studying the biological performance of the scaffolds obtained in the different stages of the project, including cell seeding and culture, performing the biochemical assay, immunostaining, and imaging of cells. You will be responsible for the design of the biological tests, thorough data analysis, and proper interpretation of the obtained results. You will also contribute to project- related dissemination activities, present at national and international conferences, publish results in peer-reviewed scientific journals. We expect you to support the Principal Investigator in supervising the other members of the Team.

International candidates are asked to provide information on whether their doctorate degree is recognized in Poland (more information at: https: // nawa.gov.pl/en/recognition/system-kwalifikator).

Offer:

We offer a great opportunity to participate in an exciting project that deals with relevant societal challenges. You will work in an attractive, interdisciplinary environment with a newly formed international, enthusiastic Research Group. The part of the Group is located in Groningen, The Netherlands, which facilitates international collaborations and will lead to the increased impact and quality of conducted work. We provide very good conditions for the development of your independent career and international scientific network. The family-friendly working environment allows for compatibility of work and family life.

The temporary position is offered initially for a period of one year. The competitive salary on the European level is offered (ca.7.700 PLN /month gross, ca. 1.700 EUR/month gross), with an additional end year bonus of ca. 7.600 PLN (ca. 1.640 EUR), and holiday allowance. Performance bonuses are available from the University.

About the organization:

This project will be performed in the Biotechnology Center at Silesian University of Technology (SUT) in Gliwice. SUT is one of the leading scientific institutions in Poland (ranked within the top 10 Polish research institutions), equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure. The Biotechnology Center gathers specialists from computer and environmental science, chemistry, and biology to work together on innovative projects in the field of bioinformatics, medical, environmental, and industrial biotechnology. The research lines include the development of new biomaterials, controlled cellular differentiation, modeling of bioprocesses. The institution has long- standing collaborations with medical doctors, which will facilitate knowledge exchange with specialists from the medical field and support project development into applied outcomes.

Additional information:

The offers which are incomplete or submitted after the deadline will not be considered. We will contact only selected candidates who meet the criteria of the competition. The expected date of the final selection is 20 th November.
