Biomaterials Co-op - September

We are looking for an enthusiastic Biomaterials Co-op to be part of a multidisciplinary R D team responsible for the chemistry/polymer chemistry required to produce biomaterials. In this role, you will provide support for the material formulations, bio-analytical assays, and polymer modification. This is an exciting opportunity for you to work closely with a team of engineers, cell biologists, and biomaterials experts, to develop bioprinted tissues that could transform the way we develop medicines and treat disease.

Please note: This role will close applications on July 13.

Responsibilities

Supporting development and functionalization of synthetic or natural polymers that support therapeutic cell function and tissue transplant suitability. Formulating and characterizing bioinks, buffers and solutions to use in bioprinting processes for therapeutic applications. Executing assays to characterize biomaterial formulations for physicochemical properties, printability, biological function, stability, and toxicity.

Executing morphometric, mechanical, and stability tests to characterize bioprinted hydrogels. Creating experimental reports and presenting experiments to key stakeholders. Documenting all work and following good documentation practice.

Assisting in troubleshooting and investigations, identifying ways to optimize procedures or documentation. Education Experience Education : You are a student enrolled in biomedical engineering, polymer chemistry, chemical engineering or similar programs. Biomaterials Experience: You understand and know how to manipulate formulations and you have a passion for biomaterials, tissue engineering, or therapeutic tissue applications.

Experience with 3D bioprinting would be highly beneficial. Problem Solver : Demonstrated ability to identify innovative working solutions to problems with challenging constraints. Effective Communicator : You have superior written and verbal communication skills.

You are an active listener who can communicate to different audiences in diverse situations. Detail oriented : You have outstanding attention to detail, and experimental and process rigor. You take pride in your work and strive for excellence in the work you do.
