PhD & Postdoctoral Positions, BioMediTech - Institute of Biosciences & Medical Technology, Finland (2018)

The Centre of Excellence in Body-On-Chip Research (CoEBoC) started in January 2018 in the Academy of Finland's Centres of Excellence (CoE) program. The CoEBoC is a joint centre established by six research groups at the University of Tampere (UTA) and the Tampere University of Technology (TUT): Minna Kellomäki (TUT, consortium leader), Katriina Aalto-Setälä (UTA), Jari Hyttinen (TUT), Pasi Kallio (TUT), Susanna Miettinen (UTA) and Susanna Narkilahti (UTA).

We are looking for highly motivated persons able to develop their skills in multidispinary research environment.

Three Postdoctoral Researchers at the Centre of Excellence in Body-on-Chip Research (CoEBoC)

The Centre of Excellence in Body-on-Chip Research (CoEBoC) at the Faculty of Biomedical Science and Engineering at Tampere University of Technology (TUT) invites applications for three fixed-term (two years) Postdoctoral Researcher positions for the development of microfluidics in Organ- and Body-on-Chip systems, for development of 3D bioimaging and for either development of 3D-scaffolds (polymer or polymer-based composite) or surface functionalization.

Postdoctoral Researcher for the development of microfluidics in Organ- and Body-on-Chip systems:

For position, you must have a doctoral degree in a field relevant to the research programme, a high-level scientific expertise in a theme appropriate to the CoEBoC programme and an excellent international publication record in the field of microfluidics, Bio-MEMS, biosensing, microfabrication, or from a closely related field.

Postdoctoral Researcher for development of 3D bioimaging:

For position, you must have a doctoral degree and an excellent international publication record in a field relevant to bioimaging and a scientific expertise in a theme appropriate to the CoEBoC programme. Advantage is given to applicants with expertise on X-ray micro CT tomography, or optical 3D bioimaging methods, and physics or biochemistry of the bioimaging.

Postdoctoral Researcher for either development of 3D-scaffolds (polymer or polymer-based composite) or surface functionalization:

In the project, the aim is to develop functionalized scaffolds, topografies and structures for body-on-chip research. For position, you must have a PhD degree in a field relevant to the research programme. Studies in fields such as polymer chemistry, biomaterials, material science and/or tissue engineering, are requested from the applicant.

Two Postdoctoral Researchers at the Centre of Excellence in Body-on-Chip Research

Centre of Excellence in Body-on-Chip Research (CoEBoC) at the Faculty of Medicine and Life Sciences, the University of Tampere invites applications for two (2) fixed-term (two years) Postdoctoral Researcher positions.

Two recently graduated Postdoctoral Researchers, one for the development of an in vitro model for vascularized bone, and another for the development of an in vitro model for vascularized adipose tissue.

Successful candidates must have a doctoral degree in a field relevant to an appropriate area of the research programme, a high-level scientific expertise in a theme appropriate to the CoEBoC programme and an excellent international publication record in the field of cell biology, stem cell research, tissue engineering, biomaterials research, or from a closely related field. For the position of the development of an in vitro model for vascularized bone, advantage is given to applicants with expertise on bone or vascular tissue engineering. For the position of the development of an in vitro model for vascularized adipose tissue, advantage is given to applicants with expertise on adipose or vascular tissue engineering.

Doctoral Researcher at the Centre of Excellence in Body-on-Chip Research

Centre of Excellence in Body-on-Chip Research (CoEBoC) at the Faculty of Medicine and Life Sciences, the University of Tampere invites applications for fixed-term (one year) Doctoral Researcher position.

Doctoral Researcher position for the development of in vitro models for nerve innervation in target tissue blocks. This task studies the way nerve innervation affects the development of target tissue and the formation of vascularization and the way it controls tissue function. Both two and three-dimensional culturing systems are utilized.

The eligible candidates must have a Master’s degree in a field relevant to the research programme. Studies in fields such as stem cells and tissue engineering, biomaterials, neuroscience are of advance, but not necessary.
