Are you completing, or have you completed, a PhD in biomaterials, tissue engineering, cell biology, regenerative medicine or a related area, with an interest in improving the safety of implantable medical devices? We have an exciting opportunity to join a research programme establishing a coordinated framework for the analysis of explanted polymeric medical devices. You will contribute to research investigating how implant degradation, tissue responses and patient-specific factors combine to drive complications associated with specific medical devices. You will help establish robust experimental and sample-handling workflows for explanted devices and matched biological samples, develop and establish laboratory methods to characterise tissue and immune responses, and support the integration of research findings within a developing explant research programme. Working within the School of Chemical, Materials and Biological Engineering, you will collaborate with academic, clinical, regulatory and patient partners, including Sheffield Teaching Hospitals and the University of Cambridge. You will contribute to publications, presentations and project outputs with direct relevance to patient safety and post-market device surveillance. This role offers an excellent opportunity to develop multidisciplinary expertise at the interface of biomaterials, implant immunology, women’s health and translational healthcare research, while contributing to a programme designed to deliver lasting clinical and regulatory impact. £39,560 to £41,885 per annum.
