Job Description

  • The successful candidate must have hands-on experience working in a chemicals/materials/biomedical/diagnostics lab, be knowledgeable in the use of soft materials (polymers, particles, biomaterials, etc.), be familiar with synthetic chemistry techniques, and have hands-on experience with analytical instrumentation techniques used for materials characterization (for example, rheology, DSC, GPC, spectroscopic methods).
  • Additional experience with test method development using medical prototypes, working knowledge of biomedical polymeric materials, and preclinical testing in animals is also valuable.
  • The candidate should have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, the ability to identify and resolve experimental challenges proactively, and a strong desire to gain experience in developing medical technologies.
  • The candidate should be able to plan and conduct scientific experiments, and effectively analyze, interpret, and present experimental results while collaborating with team members from a variety of backgrounds.
  • The candidate should also be able to adapt to changing requirements that can arise in a dynamic work environment and will be expected to contribute intellectually to areas not directly related to his or her field.

Requirements

  • Hands-on laboratory experience working with various chemicals/materials/polymers
  • Experience developing formulations using soft materials (polymers, emulsions, particles, biomedical polyesters, other viscoelastic systems, etc.)
  • Experience operating commonly used materials characterization tools (for example,

Rheometer, spectroscopic methods, DSC, GPC, etc.) And interpreting resultant data

  • Ability to design, execute, and appropriately document experiments
  • Good written and verbal technical communication skills
  • Ability to effectively interpret and present scientific results.

Desired Skills

  • Experience in basic synthetic chemistry (small molecule or polymer synthesis)
  • Knowledge of polymer processing methods (extrusion, 3D printing, etc.), resorbable materials
  • Experience with in-vivo testing of biomedical devices or prototypes
  • Willingness to work occasionally with biological specimens (e.g. blood) for lab scale testing.

Education

  • Graduate degree or equivalent work experience in the fields of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, or related scientific discipline.
  • Prior work experience in a medical device or diagnostics R&D organization is a plus.
