PhD Position in Tissue Engineering: We are pleased to announce a fully funded PhD position at Maastricht University, offering an exceptional opportunity to engage in groundbreaking research focused on the synthesis and characterization of supramolecular hydrogels and bioinks for tissue engineering. The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary team at the Institute for Complex Molecular Systems (ICMS) within the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences, and participate in a dynamic research environment dedicated to creating responsive and dynamic bioinks for advanced tissue engineering applications.
Fully Funded PhD Position in Supramolecular Hydrogels and Bioinks for Tissue Engineering
Designation: PhD Candidate
Research Area: Supramolecular Hydrogels and Bioinks for Tissue Engineering
Location: Maastricht University, Netherlands
Eligibility/Qualification:
We are seeking a proactive and creative thinker with a keen interest in chemistry, biomaterials, and bioengineering. Candidates with a solid background or affinity for synthetic/polymer chemistry, hydrogels, or biomaterials are encouraged to apply. Proficiency in scientific English for listening, speaking, reading, and writing is required. Knowledge of Dutch is not mandatory, and candidates without a Master’s degree are welcome to apply.
Job Description:
The selected PhD candidate will undertake research related to the synthesis of novel polymers and engineering of dynamic hydrogel biomaterials for the creation of injectable, 3D printable, and patternable cell culture materials/bioinks. Collaborating within the framework of an ERC Consolidator project (SupraValent) and a multidisciplinary team (BioMatt Group), the candidate will work towards expanding the toolbox of reactions and reversibility of supramolecular systems, focusing on the impact of molecular structure, processing conditions, and types of reactions on supramolecular scaffolds.
How to Apply:
To apply for this exciting position, interested candidates are required to submit a cover letter, including their motivation and relevant experience, along with a CV and the names of two references. Candidates should anticipate hearing from the selection committee within three weeks of the application deadline.
