Biomaterial researcher

Moroxite AB is looking for a motivated candidate who will work with optimizing and characterizing its ceramic carrier for local bone active protein delivery.

You should have prior laboratory experience of having worked with injectable ceramic biomaterials comprising of calcium sulfates and calcium phosphates. Your work duties will comprise of conducting in-vitro laboratory work including experiments on biomaterial injectability (rheology), biomaterial setting (e.g. work with Gilmore apparatus), mechanical characterization (uniaxial compression testing), chemical characterization (X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy). You will also be responsible evaluating the interactions of the biomaterial with bone cells and therefore prior experience of having worked with mammalian cell culture is a plus. Prior experience of having worked with histological techniques including bone decalcification, paraffin embedding, microtome sectioning and histological staining will be considered a strong positive.
