About this position
The University of Limerick’s Bernal Institute is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher in vascular tissue engineering and perfusion bioreactors for the INCENSE-2 research project.
Working in the Faculty of Science & Engineering and Department of Chemical Science, the researcher will contribute to a collaboration with Cook Medical, co-funded by the Rinn Pharma & Biopharma Centre. The project aims to create a human, flow-conditioned model of the arterial wall that can be used to test real stents and drug coatings before animal studies.
The postdoctoral researcher will lead the engineering of the vessel. The work includes scaling a tubular collagen scaffold to the calibre of a peripheral stent, developing the scaffold wall so that it can withstand stent deployment, and constructing the peristaltic perfusion bioreactor in which the engineered vessel will be cultured. The role brings together bioengineering, collagen-based biomaterials, vascular tissue engineering, mechanical performance and dynamic bioreactor culture.
The researcher will join the University of Limerick’s research-led and innovation-focused environment, with the project situated within the Bernal Institute and connected to an applied medical-device collaboration.
Funding details
Temporary, specific-purpose postdoctoral contract with a salary scale of €55,399–€60,250 per annum pro rata; the maximum starting salary is €55,399.
