The goal of the project is to develop a microfluidic high throughput screening platform based on printing of droplets into ordered arrays at a substrate. The planned research tasks include (i) setting up the droplet-printing setup and investigation of physical mechanisms of droplet self-assembly, (ii) development of custom imageprocessing tools, (iii) proof-of-concept application of the platform in drug screening.

• Optimizing hydrogel for cell culture, culturing cells, planning and performing the microfluidic encapsulation and screening experiments involving live/dead staining of cells and other assays, microscopy-based morphological characterization of growing microtissues.
• Data analysis, writing reports and scientific publications
• Cooperation with researchers, including communication with English-speaking colleagues

• 12-month full time work contract with the possibility of extension to 45 months in case of an extension of the project implementation period.
• Work in the outstanding scientific institution in the dynamic research group – see details on the website: https://sgmte.pl/
• Engagement into an ambitious research program and possibility to build the academic career

• PhD degree in biology, bioengineering, chemistry or related fields obtained not earlier than 7 years before the engagement in the project (this period might be longer due to family reasons (according to NCN rules).
• Experience in cell culture and tissue engineering and knowledge of basic techniques and protocols used in bio-labs
• Experience in microfluidics will be an asset
• Proficiency in spoken and written English

The Commission will take into account the following criteria:
