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
