Postdoctoral Researcher in 3D Printing in Liquid

Job Title:

Research Assistant / Postdoctoral Researcher (3D Printing in Liquid)

Scope of the Research:

This research program intends to develop design principles, fabrication methods, and instruments to perform liquid-in-liquid 3D printing. Liquid-in-liquid 3D printing is an emerging field of 3D printing based on direct ink writing of polymer inks. We combine additive manufacturing, microfluidics, and in situ physio-chemical reactions to unlock unprecedented capability of 3D printing in liquid.

We adopt interdisciplinary approaches to investigate unexplored dimensions of bioprinting. Examples include but not limited to:

• To fabricate well-defined micro and nanostructures
• To fabricate hierarchical structures with well-defined inner morphologies of the scaffold
• To investigate the relationship between structures, functions and apply them for device fabrication.  
• To develop methods/instruments of additive manufacturing applicable for biological strucutres
• To automate the process of complex fabrication
• To develop instruments intended for use in specific requirement
• To apply the developed method

The researcher will work in an interdisciplinary research team consisting of electrical, chemical and biomedical engineers, chemists and materials scientists.

Postdoctoral researchers are preferred, while exceptional candidates with adequate experiences for research assistants will be considered.

Qualification, Skills, Experiences:

• M.S./B.S. (for research assistants) or Ph.D. (for postdoctoral researcher) in chemistry, biology, bioengineering, polymer engineering, materials sciences and/or related fields.
• Expertise in 3D printing (direct ink writing, fused deposition modelling), CAD, and 3D drawing and modeling
• Experiences in microfluidics, microfabrication
• Experiences in the design and manufacturing of scientific instruments
• Good track record of scientific publications
• Excellent written and oral communication skills in English
