#1 Post-doctoral fellow in Material Science and rheology.
Deciphering the dynamic molding technology by a rheological approach.
About the common laboratory: We offer a 18-month postdoc position (renewable) starting as soon as possible, for deciphering the Dynamic Molding technology. This project is part of a joint researcher activity involving one academic laboratory (ICBMS–3d.FAB) which is one of the top world laboratory in additive manufacturing and one industrial company (3Deus Dynamics).
Scientific context: Dynamic Molding is a brand-new Zero gravity and Freeform additive manufacturing technology that is revolutionizing the production of organic and inorganic 3D objects. The deep understanding of this Freeform 3D printing technology is the key to produce innovative designs and materials.
Discovered on the 3d.FAB platform and developed by the 3Deus Dynamics Company, the creation of a joint laboratory will allow them to better understand the success of the Dynamic Molding technology. Research works will meet non-Newtonian and granular rheology, then the structure-properties relationships of printed object.
Education requirements & skills: The successful candidate will have a PhD in material sciences and a high experience in experimental rheology in fluid and granular systems.
The candidate is expected to be an enthusiastic and self-motivated person with strong intellect who is able to take a creative approach to scientific tasks.
The candidate should have the skills necessary to be an independent researcher. The abilities to lead and a communicative are strong advantages. Fluent English language is required for this position.
Location: The research activities will be based in the ICBMS laboratory and its 3d.FAB platform hosted in Axel’One Campus, 5 Avenue Gaston Berger, 69100, Villeurbanne, France.
Salary: 2100€-2800€ neat/month, according to experience.
How to apply: Send your resume and cover letter to Edwin-Joffrey Courtial (Research engineer, CNRS): edwin.courtial@univ-lyon1.fr and Christophe Marquette (Research director, CNRS): christophe.marquette@univ-lyon1.fr.
#2 Post-doctoral fellow tissue bioengineering, immunology or pulmonary physiology/physiopathology.
The Print@Lung project was funded by the ShapeMed@Lyon program, coordinated by univ-Lyon1 (www.shape-med-lyon.fr). The aim of this project is to propose a new in vitro model of 3D-printed lung tissue. This collaborative project is led by Fabienne Archer (IVPC laboratory), Emma Petiot (3d.FAB platform) and Karen Moreau (CIRI StaphPath team).
The Print@Lung project is recruiting a post-doctoral fellow in tissue engineering and immunology, to add complexity to the bioprinted lung model already established within the consortium. The aim is to bring in the immunological component and a complex regionalization/architecture of the respiratory tract to mimic respiratory host-pathogen interactions in a more relevant way.
Scientific mission: The highly motivated post-doc will develop methods for inserting the immune compartment into a pre-established bioprinted lung model. This will involve selecting populations of immune cells from lung tissue (extraction/selection) and proposing bioprinting strategies (micro-extrusion, inkjet) and monitoring the behaviour of the different cell types, under control conditions and in response to stress (infectious or environmental). The mission will be carried out in collaboration with the various partners in the ShapeMEd Print@Lung project, including bioprinting specialists, specialists in lung biology as well as in lung pathologies. Part of the activity will also focus on the regionalisation and 3D structuring of bioprinted tissues.
Administrative tasks: The post-doc will be involved in coordinating the project with the project’s 3 co-leaders. In particular, he/she will be involved in communication and setting up and updating the project’s DMP.
Profile required:
Expected skills in tissue bioengineering, immunology or pulmonary physiology/physiopathology: Culture of immune cells within biomaterials; Characterization/stimulation of immune cells (ideally from lung tissue); Culture and cell and tissue biology (work in sterile conditions, classic cell characterization tools i.e. cytometry, IF, Elisa, Histology etc.); Immunology (ideally from lung mucous membranes); Cell and tissue biology (work in sterile conditions, classic cell characterization tools i.e. cytometry, IF, Elisa, Histology etc.).
Knowledge in one of these areas: Cell and tissue biology (ideally of lung); Immunology (ideally of pulmonary mucosa), Immune cell / biomaterial interaction, Experience in 3D printing / bioprinting would be a plus.
Specific software or equipments used: CAD / 3D bioprinters / Cytometry / Confocal microscopy / Histology / Cell culture
Skills: Teamwork – multi-partner project; enthusiastic and dynamic, Good level of English.
Diploma required: PhD, Doctorate in Science.
Level of experience required: between 1 and 3 years.
Job locations:
ICBMSLab/ 3d.FAB platform with all the bioprinting facilities (https://fabric-advanced-biology.univ-lyon1.fr/) & IVPC Lab for the lung epithelium background ( https://eng-ipvc.lyon-grenoble.hub.inrae.fr/).
