The position is suited for candidates interested in working with an interdisciplinary team.Experience working with stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes, or having some background in tissue engineering is preferable. Knowledge of protein/peptide conjugation techniques or materials-oriented organic synthesis is beneficial but not required. Candidates should have a doctorate in biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, materials science, or other relevant fields.
Initial appointment will be for a 24-month period, renewable subject to performance and funding availability.
