Postgraduate Fellowship “Computer-aided design toolbox for bioprinting applications”
The Institute of Chemical Engineering Sciences, Foundation of Research and Technology - Hellas, (FORTH/ICE- HT) is seeking applicants for one postgraduate research fellowship in the context of the research project “Precision Manufacturing of Microengineered Complex Joint Implants (JOINTPROMISE)”, which is implemented under the H2020 Research and Innovation Action.
Job Description
To conduct research in the framework of the aforementioned project "JOINTPROMISE". The main objective of the specific part of JOINTPROMISE is to model and simulate the culture process of microtissues for enhanced bioreactor process design. The main focus will be on the effect of shear stress on microtissues, and bioreactor dimension and geometric feature determination, and step-by-step in silico representation of mass transport through biologically relevant porous media and tissues.
Location: FORTH/ICE-HT, Patras, Greece
Duration: 4 months, with the potential of renewal
Fellowship: 830 euros/month
Envisaged starting date: 1/10/2020
Requirements and Qualifications
