Research Scientist - Biomedical Devices

 

The Opportunity

  • Design & develop next-generation biomedical devices
  • Access state of the art facilities and technologies
  • Immerse yourself in an inclusive and diverse culture that offers great flexibility

CSIRO’s Manufacturing Business Unit brings together multi-disciplinary scientific and engineering capabilities using world-class infrastructure to partner with industry in order to develop innovative products and processes to allow Australian manufacturers to be globally competitive and environmentally sustainable. The Biomedical Manufacturing Research Program works with biomedical companies to deliver new medical treatments and technologies that benefit millions of people in Australia and overseas, helping them live longer, healthier, and more productive lives.

Next generation biomedical devices, ranging from biosensors to implantable devices, require the integration of multidisciplinary skills, ranging from nanostructured materials to coatings and the control of biointerfacial interactions. Moreover, progress in this field requires the evaluation of biological responses in vitro and, if required, in vivo. The translation of next generation biomedical devide technologies will be facilitated by CSIRO’s Biomedical Materials Translational Facility (BMTF). 

Your duties will include:

  • Design and development of next generation biomedical device technologies
  • Design and manufacture of next-generation coatings on biomedical devices.  
  • Development of novel theranostic technology platforms. 
  • Detailed characterisation experiments. 
  • Evaluation of biological responses in vitro and in vivo. 
  • Liaise with clients to determine their needs and take personal responsibility for client satisfaction.  
  • Under limited direction, assist in the planning and preparation of research proposals and carry out research investigations, requiring originality, creativity and innovation.  
  • Present results in a meaningful format, prepare reports for clients and/or write scientific papers for publication.   

Location: Clayton, Melbourne
Salary: AU$100k – AU$108k plus up to 15.4% superannuation
Tenure: Indefinite
Reference: 75634

To be considered you will need:

  • A PhD in a relevant discipline area, such as Chemistry, Materials Science, Biomedical Science or related disciplines; with relevant postdoctoral research experience in the field of biomedical devices and theranostics. 
  • Demonstrated experience in organic and polymer chemistry. 
  • Proven experience in surface modification and analysis. 
  • Demonstrated experience in diagnostic technologies. 
  • Proven experience in mammalian cell culture methods. 
  • Experience in bacterial culture methods, animal experiments (including ethics approvals), and obtaining funding from competitive sources would be desirable.
