Research Assistant for Biological and Material Characterization of CNTs-based Electrodes

Research Assistant for Biological and Material Characterization of CNTs-based Electrodes

IMDEA Materials Institute

Madrid, Spain

Description

The researcher will be involved in a project that seeks to improve the efficiency of a new brain cancer (cerebral glioblastoma) therapy by using alternating electric fields of low intensity and intermediate frequency. We are looking for a candidate with expertise in 3D printing technologies, advanced cell culture evaluation for the evaluation of conductive materials and their effect on cell viability, proliferation, and differentiation in vitro. The task will be to perform the last implantable probes, optimization of possible microelectrode arranges, and analyze and validate final biological data from the fabricated microelectrodes and flexible battery.

We are looking for a candidate with a background in biomaterials and knowledge in biology, cell culture techniques, 3D printing and material characterization.

Requirements

• Candidates should have a background in biomedical engineering, materials science, physics, biology, chemistry, medical science, biotechnology, or a related discipline. (Master level);
• Experience in the biological evaluation of materials (in vitro);
• Availability to start in July 2025 and finish in November 2025;
• Good communication skills;
• Fluent in English (written and oral);
• Confident in hands-on work in the lab and an excellent self-starter;
