Chargé de recherches (CR) and Marie-Sklodowska Curie European Fellowship (MSCA-IF)
At the 3BIO-BioMatter unit, the Free University of Brussels (ULB)
Laboratory of BioMatter at the faculty of Engineering, the Free University of Brussels aims to identify potential international candidates interested in the field of biomaterials engineering:
Candidates with the required profile will work with us to submit a full application to the Marie-Sklodowska Curie European Fellowship, Chargé de recherches – CR or IF@ULB schemes.
The focus is on design and development of 3D model for soft tissue engineering including engineering extracellular matrix to model tumour microenvironment.
The broader potential research themes are:
Biomaterials for tissue engineering applications:
- Hydrogels including enzymatic crosslinking for TE applications
- 3D models for TE applications
Biomaterial synthesis and characterisation:
- Polymeric/Biopolymeric biomaterials
- Composites and nanocomposites
- Stimuli-responsive biomaterials
Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing:
- Biomaterials for extrusion printing
- 3D bioprinting/biofabrication
- Melt Electro Writing (MEW)
- Biomaterials (including coatings) for local drug and growth factor delivery
Biomaterials for specific medical applications:
- Skin and mucosa
- Wound healing and tissue adhesives
Interested individuals who have clear research topics and can write an excellent proposal under our guidance are required to submit an EOI application form using the links below in the first instance by 25 May 2022. Please note that this is not a funded position but an expression of interest to apply for funding.

Scheme Details
The MSCE and CR Fellowships offer individuals the opportunity to enhance their career development and prospects by spending a period working abroad. The schemes support the best, most promising individual researchers from anywhere in the world, and any nationality.
Only experienced researchers can apply, and this means that the applicant must:
- Hold a Ph. D in chemical engineering, materials science and engineering, biological engineering, chemistry, and other relevant fields
- Have a research topic(s) and able to write an excellent proposal under our supervision before the deadlines.
- An excellent publication track record.
And be able to satisfy most of the following requirements
(1) Biomaterials, e.g., hydrogel and scaffold design, synthesis, and characterization
(2) Invitro techniques such as cell culture models, cytotoxicity tests, immunohistochemistry, and protein and gene expression analyses
(3) Bioprinting techniques, such as micro-extrusion, DLP, etc.
(4) In vivo models, imaging, and tissue evaluation
Application Process & Deadlines
Expressions of Interest must be submitted using the APPLICATION FORM, together with a full CV (no more than three pages), by email to amin.shavandi@ulb.be no later than 25 May 2022.
