Special Instructions to Applicants:
Please attach a cover letter and a curriculum vitae in the Supporting Documents section of the application.
Position Summary:
The Biomaterials Lab is dedicated to advancing patient health and addressing critical medical challenges through biomaterials research, education, innovation, and entrepreneurship. The lab provides shared research facilities, specialized equipment, technical expertise, and training to students, faculty, staff, and external collaborators to support the fabrication, characterization, and development of biomaterials, medical devices, regenerative medicine technologies, and research prototypes.
The Research Scientist/Lab Manager performs biomaterial fabrication and characterization within the Biomaterials Lab (https://bml.rice.edu) under the supervision of the Director. These fabrication methods include, but are not limited to, 3D printing, bioprinting, electrospinning, melt-write electrospinning, etc. Biomaterial characterization techniques include, but are not limited to, chromatography (size exclusion and affinity-based), thermal analysis, rheology, micro-computed tomography, fluorescence microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. This position actively participates in research and design, conducts educational and outreach activities (such as a biofabrication workshop and an annual high school student biomaterials bootcamp), and implements and maintains laboratory safety procedures. The position also oversees the day-to-day operation of the laboratory and its users while managing long-term collaborative projects between the laboratory and other research and institutional partners. In addition, this position manages laboratory communications and marketing, including the lab website.
Ideal Candidate Statement:
The ideal candidate has experience in several fabrication techniques, such as 3D printing, electrospinning, extrusion-based techniques, experience in several characterization techniques, such as chromatography, thermal, mechanical, and radiographic analysis, and experience in histologic analysis, such as frozen and paraffin-embedded specimens.
