Position
Injuries to the musculoskeletal system are widespread and can impact quality of life. The field of tissue engineering and bioprinting is constantly searching for new methods to create biomimetic tissue models which better replicate the organization of native tissues. Here bioprinting strategies have the potential to revolutionize the functionality of tissues used in regenerative medicine.
The Tissue Engineering and Biofabrication Laboratory (Prof. Marcy Zenobi-Wong) within the Department of Health Sciences & Technolgy (D-HEST) at ETHZ in Zurich, Switzerland, uses bioprinting to produce tissues which address unmet clinical needs. The laboratory has recently developed a light-based 3D printing technique, capable of creating topological cell guiding cues in large scaffolds ( centimeter scale) based on optical modulation instability effect and self-focusing effect on non-linear media (e.g., photosensitive resin). This allows for creating efficient cell guiding microstructures including microfilaments and microchannels in 3D hydrogel constructs within seconds.
The goal of this project is to further enhance the printing technique by incorporating 3 different wavelength lasers. This new printer will be able to crosslink materials into 3D shapes using one of the wavelengths, whereas the other two wavelengths will be leveraged to optically stimulate the resident cells.
You have a diploma/M.Sc. degree in mechanical engineering or biomedical engineering with strong motivation to develop the hardware and software behind the next generation of 3D bioprinters. You will work on this project together with a biology PhD candidate, therefore strong interest in working on interdisciplinary, biomedical research questions is essential. The following skills are sought:
We look forward to receiving your online application with the following documents:
The position is available from October 1, 2024 and must be started before March 1, 2025.
Please note that we exclusively accept applications submitted through our online application portal. Applications via email or postal services will not be considered.
