ENGINEER - FLAG-ERA Smart2Graph PROJECT

We are looking for an engineer to join the FLAG-ERA Smart2Graph project at the Université de Technologie de Compiègne, in the Industrial Process Engineering department, TIMR joint research unit.

https://timr.utc.fr/

The FLAG-ERA Smart2Graph project aims to develop a treatment for damage to the peripheral nervous system by creating implants that enable nerve regeneration. These implants will be produced by additive manufacturing, thanks to the development of a bio-ink composed of biocompatible materials based on silk and adapted nanomaterials.

Your role will be to take part in research into the development and characterisation of the optimal composition of the bio-ink and its 3D printing.

• Taking part in an innovative project

• Contribute to major technological advances

• Contribute your technical expertise to solve complex challenges and develop innovative solutions

• Work with a multidisciplinary team and benefit from a stimulating and rewarding working environment.

Your activities :

• Development and optimal formulation of bio-ink

• Complete physico-chemical characterisation of components and formulated bio-ink (rheology, spectroscopic analysis, etc.)

• Development of implants using 3D printing (programming, development of methodologies and mechanical characterisation of printed objects)

• Synthesis, presentation and writing of progress reports
