Manchester, United Kingdom The University of Manchester Full time

The Henry Royce Institute (Royce) is the UK’s home of advanced materials research and innovation. The £235m Institute will allow the UK to grow its world-leading research and innovation base in advanced materials science, an area which is fundamental to all industrial sectors and the national economy. Royce brings together world-leading academics from across the UK and works closely with industry to ensure commercialisation of fundamental research. Strategic investment in the Biomedical Materials research area has enabled us to develop comprehensive suites of equipment to ‘make, characterise and test’ biomedical materials which will help accelerate the development of advanced materials in the healthcare sector.

You will be primarily responsible for experimental techniques associated with the manufacture of biomaterial surfaces and substrates, culture and analysis of cell/tissue behaviour on surfaces, and the mechanical evaluation of performance of these materials in biologically relevant environments. You will grow and oversee an internal and external user community of researchers, students and industry collaborators and customers. You will provide training, advice and support to facility users on the use of a wide range of scientific equipment and the interpretation of acquired data.

You will be an experienced experimentalist, with an ability to acquire high quality data using advanced and highly specialised biomaterials techniques. A proactive and energetic approach is important, as is an ability to establish a good rapport with research students, staff, external customers and visitors. A degree, or equivalent qualification, in a relevant science or engineering discipline is required, as well as experience of working in a research facility environment and knowledge of biomaterials, including their fabrication, characterisation and testing. A postgraduate degree in biomedical materials or a related field is desirable.

As an equal opportunities employer we welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of age, sex, gender (or gender identity), ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and transgender status. All appointments are made on merit.
