Postdoc in 3D Bioprinting of Microalgae and Cyanobacteria, Marine Biological Section, Department of Biology

jobbeskrivelse:
A position as postdoc is available in the Marine Biological Section at the Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen. The postdoc will be financed for 24 months by the project “Printing microbial forests” funded by an Experiment grant from the Villum Foundation (Denmark). The project develops and applies novel 3D bioprinting techniques to design and construct photosynthetic biofilms of various spatial complexity. This includes the use of novel bioinks that incorporate sensor nanoparticles for chemical imaging of printed constructs containing living cells. We look for candidates with a relevant PhD degree (e.g. in bioengineering, mechanical engineering, medical engineering, soft matter physics, biophotonics or materials science) who have a documented expertise in 3D bioprinting, modelling of mass transfer and light propagation, or development of bioinks. Experience with 3D modeling and design software or advanced image analysis will be advantageous.

The postdoc’s duties will include research within the development and application of 3D bioprinting methods for fabrication of constructs containing microalgae/cyanobacteria in different spatial configurations. This includes 3D design, tests of biocompatibility of various bioinks, measurements of metabolic activity and light propagation, as well as modeling of mass transfer and photon transport in printed constructs. The postdoc will be integrated in a strong interdisciplinary team of sensor chemists and microbiologist. The post may also include performance of other duties, and travel as part of national and international collaborations. The main workplace will be at the Marine Biological Sections premises at Strandpromenaden 5, Helsingør, 3000, Denmark.

Further information on the Department is linked at http://www.science.ku.dk/english/about-the-faculty/organisation/.

Inquiries about the position can be made to Professor Michael Kühl (mkuhl (at) bio.ku.dk).

The position is open from 1 June 2019 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.

Terms of employment
The position is covered by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff.
