Description:
The Vijay lab in the Engineering Division, New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit a Research Associate in Bioprinting, Biomaterials, and Tissue Engineering to work on the in vitro and in vivo characterization of biofabricated tissue constructs. The successful applicant will drive a fascinating project on the advanced bioprinting strategies for the in vitro culture of cells and tissues and in vivo testing of the biofabricated tissues. The PI’s previous works have proved the advantages of bioprinting over manual culture methods and the versatility of the process to fabricate a biomimetic architecture to mimic the native human tissue both in terms of structure and function. To get further insights, the candidate will be involved in testing several novel biomaterials including polymers and hydrogels with a broad range of mechanical and electrical properties and biological functionalities in:
The candidate will work in a multidisciplinary environment consisting of PhD-level scientists, graduate students, and undergraduate students and will interact with several scientists from other disciplines. Applicants must have a PhD in biological, chemical, or physical sciences, or biomedical/chemical/materials science engineering or related field with a specific focus on in vitro and in vivo studies. Must have significant experience and demonstrated skills and technical expertise with in vitro and in vivo (animal studies) biological assays including animal surgery, tissue isolation, and characterization. Knowledge of bioprinting is desirable but not mandatory. The terms of employment include a highly competitive salary, medical insurance, housing allowance, and educational subsidies for children as well as other benefits.
