Candidates are expected to:

• Connect to the private sector and promote technical developments in terms of applications
• Provide technical support and training, both in person and online, to end users
• Perform technological surveillance on the latest trends in bioprinting
• Characterize the properties of the fabricated printed material
• Combine a bioprinter with related technologies (ES, MEW, bioinks, UV, extrusion) to develop innovative solutions

The position is expected to start on 01/09/2025 or earlier. The initial appointment is a fixed-term industrial researcher position for one year at nanoGUNE, followed by a 5-months contract at DOMOTEK. If progress is satisfactory, the contract might be extended to a permanent position at DOMOTEK.
