Paid internship - HiWi - Hydrogels for women's health - Engineers, Chemists, Nanotech etc.
In this project we strive to create an array of new materials as gynaecological implants that give patients an alternative to otherwise highly invasive and destructive surgeries. We aim to do that using material science, nanotechnology, biomedical engineering and chemistry, all in a very interdisciplinary team that strives for innovation and tangible solutions, interacting hand-in-hand with surgeons and doctors.
We are looking for a candidate that can start work as soon as possible, can integrate the lab fast thanks to related prior experience.
Gynaecology as a medical and surgical discipline affects more than half of the world's population. While advancements have been exponential in many of its areas some surgical interventions remain highly damaging and complication inducing. In this project we will strive for the creation of soft, smart hydrogel like materials that allow doctors and specifically surgeons to replace destructive surgical practice as well as better anticipate choices of patients in the long run. We aim to do that by combining insights given by very close collaboration with gynaecologists and the leveraging of materials science, chemistry, biomedical engineering, nanotechnology and more.
The ideal student profile required for this opening is that of a passionate and independent thinking MSc student preferably applying for their thesis(chemist, biomedical engineer, materials engineer, nanotechnologist, polymer chemist or related). The ideal candidate has previous experience working in research (internship experience or similar)and can manage well communicating with people from very different backgrounds.
The day to day of this project will include making new materials, testing them under most relevant conditions and talking with surgeons and medical personnel in an effort to understand and solve a real world problem.
