IMDEA Materials has opened two new positions of either Researchers (tenure-track) or Senior Researchers (tenured) in the following areas:

- Materials and scaffolds for biomedical applications.  He/she will bring expertise in the areas of cell culture, tissue growth, biocompatibility, bioactive agents for cell proliferation, etc. and is expected to take advantage of the current capabilities of the institute in advanced processing, characterization and simulation of materials to establish a multidisciplinary program. (Reference IC2019_01).

- Biomechanics of biological tissues, including characterization, modelling and simulation of the mechanical behavior of healthy and pathological biological tissues and their interaction with implants, prothesis and orthosis. He/she is expected to interact with the strong program in multiscale materials modelling in the Institute to expand its activities into the area of biological materials. (Reference IC2019_02).

 Candidates should hold a doctoral degree in Materials Science (or related discipline) and demonstrate the ability to carry out independent research which combines high quality scientific research with technology transfer to industry, particularly for senior appointments. Leadership to develop an independent group within the institute’s framework of research activities and good communication skills are required.

Interested candidates should submit their Curriculum Vitae (including complete contact information for two references) and a one-page statement of their research objectives through the institute’s website (http://jobs.materials.imdea.org/).

Selected candidates will be offered a five-years contract (for tenure-track appointments) with competitive salary and a generous startup package.
