Job description

About The Role

As part of our multi-disciplinary R&D team, you will be responsible for the design, characterisation and testing of hydrogel and multi‑block copolymers / copolypeptides materials for drug/cell delivery wound healing, cell culture and tissue engineering applications. Work will focus predominantly on the synthesis, using biotechnology approaches, and formulation of self‑assembling peptide‑based materials, hydrogels and multi‑block co‑polypeptides. You will then go onto exploring the potential use of the materials for biomedical and biotechnological application e.g.: control kinetics of therapeutic release, material degradation, fine tuning the chemistry of building blocks, hydrogel composition and properties. In this role you will work closely within our materials, pharmacy and clinical collaborators to explore not only new materials and their physical properties, but also their early application and adoption potential, with a view to moving selected hydrogels along the TRLs. In return, we will provide you with the opportunity to develop your research, technical and leadership skills and gain invaluable experience to develop your scientific and commercial expertise.

What You Will Get In Return

  • Fantastic market leading Pension scheme
  • Excellent employee health and wellbeing services including an Employee Assistance Programme
  • Exceptional starting annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays
  • Additional paid closure over the Christmas period
  • Local and national discounts at a range of major retailers
