Analysis Affiliate in Engineering Biology and Microfluidics
Cardiff Faculty of Engineering

We search a extremely motivated post-doctoral candidate to take part inside a multi-laboratory, worldwide, European consortium, funded by the EU EIC Horizon ‘Engineering Dwelling Supplies’ theme. The publish is open for appointment from Could (or earlier) 2024 with some flexibility for the fitting applicant. The laboratory-based analysis will contain the event of bio-hybrid supplies that comprise residing & synthetic cells. These gentle matter supplies can be fabricated utilizing multiphase microfluidics and 3D cell tradition. The candidate should have a PhD or be submitted on the time of utility, and will have a confirmed observe file in 3 or extra of the next topics areas:- (1) cell-culture and cell-biology, or spheroid/organoid biology and tradition, or tissue engineering, (2) multiphase droplet microfluidics, (3) artificial biology, engineering biology or bioengineering, significantly cell encapsulation, (4) additive manufacturing or microfabrication, or venture related modelling methods, (5) membrane science, together with a working data of laboratory analytical methods.

The candidate will work inside a multidisciplinary group on the physical-life science interface, working in shut collaboration with the broader analysis teams of Dr Li and Professor Barrow and EU venture companions together with Dr Castell in Cardiff Faculty of Pharmacy, in addition to wider consortium companions spanning industrial and tutorial disciplines. The candidate will contribute to the constructing of bio-hybrid supplies comprised of each reside and synthetic cells, within the long-term, serving to obtain chemically-mediated mobile actions, such that synthetic cells might affect live-cell development and performance. This can be performed by making droplet-based precision engineered synthetic cells generated from superior 3D-printed microfluidics. These synthetic cells can be interfaced with reside 3D cell tradition, creating reside bio-hybrids. The factitious cells will encapsulate practical (bio)chemistries, and have the flexibility to answer environmental stimuli, to (semi)autonomously regulate the neighbouring residing cells, as present in advanced organic tissues, in direction of the event of subsequent technology organoid applied sciences for medical purposes.

This publish is full time (35 hours per week), out there instantly and is fastened time period till thirty first January 2027.

Wage: £39,347 – £44.263 each year (Grade 6). We don’t anticipate appointing this publish above level 2, £39,347 each year.
