Roles and responsibilities :

Design, plan and perform scientific experiments on assembly, characterization and performance of polymeric films impregnated with medicinal substances
Design and plan in-vitro antimicrobial tests against a broad spectrum of microbial strains
Design and plan in-vivo testing in murine and porcine wound healing models
Design and plan biocompatibility tests in different animal models following ISO 10993 guidelines
Evaluate combination of new polymers, biomaterials and medicinal substances
Identify and solve analytical problems in translational research
Organize and write scientific research proposals for federal grants
Write and maintain standard operating procedures and work instructions to support Commercial Product Development
Supervise research assistants, interpret and analyze data, write reports and present results
Excel in a high-energy team environment and be capable of making sound decisions when faced with the time pressures and incomplete information typical of research and development
Some travel required

Minimum qualification and experience :

Education/Experience: A PhD or postdoc in biomaterials research, with 1-3 years work experience in academia, medical device, or pharmaceutical industry
Experience with research in small animal studies specifically with murine or porcine models
Practical or theoretical knowledge of various cell-culture based assays, cytotoxicity assays, biocompatibility testing, fluorescent microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and UV-vis spectroscopy
Proven track record of innovative project contributions through publications and patents
Experience in writing research proposals for federal grants
Ability to work independently and in multidisciplinary teams
Demonstrated experience in addressing complex scientific problems
Excellent verbal and written communication skills

Preferred experience :

Experience in research on wound healing, skin diseases, burns, biofilms, antimicrobials and anti-inflammatory agents
Experience in regulatory affairs
Experience in medical writing, clinical protocols or regulatory filings
Experience in project management
Experience with product development under a quality management system
