Your role in this project will initially be to synthesize in-situ crosslinking hydrogels, with defined mechanical and bioadhesive properties, and presenting encapsulated active principles. You will then optimize the biomaterial formulations to achieve sustained release of those therapeutics, and you will quantify this process by various (molecular) techniques. Moreover, together with researchers at TU Eindhoven, you will test the biological properties of these materials _in vitro_. Furthermore, in collaboration with researchers at University of Campinas (Brazil), you will test the performance of these biomaterials in an _ex-vivo_ setting.

This Postdoc position is part of a larger 5-year binational project, funded by the Dutch Science Organization (NWO) and the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP). The project is conducted in close collaboration between the University of Twente and TU Eindhoven in the Netherlands, and the University of Campinas in Brazil as well as various industrial and societal partners. Short internship periods overseas are envisioned as part of the program.

**Your profile**:

- You have working experience with the synthesis, functionalization and characterization of polymers; hydrogels formulation, biomaterials characterization and analysis.
- You (preferably) have working experience in cell culture and tissue engineering.
- You are willing to be trained in complementary research activities (for example, cell biology, 3D bioprinting, microfluidics, etc).
- You are an enthusiastic and highly motivated researcher, precise, and reliable.
- You are independent, pro-active, and have a well-structured working style
- You have a creative mindset and excellent analytical and communication skills.
- You have a good team spirit and affinity to work in an interdisciplinary and international environment.
- You are proficient in English for communication, both in writing and oral.
- You have affinity for training and supervision of students working on the same research line.

**Our offer**:

- As a Postdoc at the UT, you will be appointed to a full-time position for 2 years, within a very stimulating and exciting scientific environment;
- The University offers a dynamic ecosystem with enthusiastic colleagues;
- Your salary and associated conditions are in accordance with the collective labour agreement for Dutch universities (CAO-NU);
