Job Title: Postdoctoral Researcher (3D-printed Injection Molds)
Scope of the Research:
The project aims to investigate the feasibility of fabricating 3D-printed moulds for injection moulding. The objective of the project includes:
• To identify materials and additives used for the process
• To fabricate well-defined micro and nanostructures by additive manufacturing
• To fabricate hierarchical structures with well-defined inner morphologies
• To characterize the properties of the fabricated structures
• To automate the fabrication process
• To modify or develop instruments applicable to the developed process
The researcher will work in an interdisciplinary research team consisting of electrical, chemical, and biomedical engineers, chemists, and materials scientists.
Qualification, Skills, and Experiences:
• PhD (for postdocs) or M.S./B.S. (for research assistants) in chemistry, materials sciences and/or related fields • Experiences in digital fabrication (3D printing, laser cutting, fluid dispensing)
• Experiences in the design and manufacturing of scientific instruments
• Experiences in microfluidics, microfabrication
• Experiences in digital fabrication, CAD, and 3D drawing and modelling
• Good track record of scientific publications
• Excellent written and oral communication skills in English
