Jobbeschreibung
An insult to the cornea - if untreated - eventually leads to corneal opacification and blindness. Around 90% of the cases occur in developing countries, and most of these cases would be preventable with appropriate treatment. We are therefore developing a smart, functional bioadhesive with disease-controlled autoregulation to treat infected corneal ulcers.
In the frame of this project, you will work with a team of scientists with backgrounds in chemistry, cell biology and microbiology as well as with clinical partners on the development of a novel bioadhesive to treat corneal ulcers. You will refine the formulation of the bioadhesive, tune its properties and subsequently functionalize it to achieve potent anti-microbial and tissue-regenerative activity using state of the art facilities and equipment.
- PhD degree in biomedical engineering or a related field
- Enthusiastic and curious personality
- High motivation to work in an interdisciplinary project
- Experience with hydrogels and cell culture work
- Excellent skills at science communication (verbal and written)
We look forward to receiving your complete online application including a letter of motivation, CV, certificates, diplomas and contact details of two reference persons. Please submit these exclusively via our job portal. Applications by e-mail and by post will not be considered.
