Research Assistant/Associate in Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering

We’re hiring a Biomaterials researcher! The PRISM project at Newcastle University is recruiting a Research Assistant/Associate in Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering, and we’d love to reach strong candidates through the community. This is an opportunity to work at the interface of biomaterials, regenerative engineering, and translational science within a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment.

We’re looking for someone with solid expertise in biomaterials and materials science, particularly:
• Electroactive, naturally derived biomaterials (e.g. collagen or peptide-based systems)
• Biomaterial chemistry and functionalisation
• Nanoparticle/material fabrication and biological evaluation
• AFM and multimodal characterisation

Experience in biomaterials–immune interactions or cartilage tissue engineering is desirable.
