\u00a0The challenge<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Medical devices interact through their surface with surrounding tissue. It is highly important that its surface comprises all characteristics to provoke the right response; surface topography is one of the main characteristics. The TopoChip features thousands of distinct surface topographies to screen for each individual medical device the surface topography that elicits the desired biological response. Now we aim to prove the effectiveness of this TopoChip platform by screening the effect of the surface topographies on different cell types and for various biological responses.<\/p>\n

Within this position offered, the suitable candidate will be responsible for the development of the data mining and data analysis of the TopoChip high-throughput platform. To this end, the candidate will have to be able to work with cell based assays, automated fluorescence microscopy, image processing and large data library analysis.<\/p>\n

The department of Tissue Regeneration at the MIRA Institute for Biomedical Technology and Technical Medicine, University of Twente (http:\/\/tr.tnw.utwente.nl\/), in collaboration with the spin-off company Materiomics (www.materiomics.com), is dedicated to further develop our so-called \u2018TopoChip\u2019 platform.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Our offer<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This position is offered in within the STROMA project (www.stromal.org). Go to the STROMA website to see if you are eligible to apply for this position.<\/p>\n

We offer a top level research and academic environment with excellent opportunities for personal development. The assignment is for 2 years. Your salary will be Euro 2861,- to 3755,- (scale 10) gross per month based on your experience.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Your profile<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The suitable candidate has a PhD degree in bioinformatics or in biomedical engineering or related fields with a clear interest for bioinformatics. It is an advantage if the candidate has experience with image based analysis and\/or with cell culture and automated fluorescent imaging. Requirements:<\/p>\n

experience in image based data mining and processing<\/p>\n

experience or serious interest in data analysis processes to deal with large data libraries, including image based analysis and mathematical approaches to data analysis using statistics<\/p>\n

experience or serious interest in cell-based assays<\/p>\n

The Organisation<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The University of Twente. We stand for life sciences and technology. High tech and human touch. Education and research that matter. New technology which drives change, innovation and progress in society. The University of Twente is the only campus university in the Netherlands; divided over six faculties we provide more than fifty educational programmes. The University of Twente has a strong focus on personal development and talented researchers are given scope for carrying out pioneering research.<\/p>\n

Within the TNW Faculty (Faculty of Science and Technology) of the University of Twente some 700 staff members and more than 1100 students are involved in training and research on the interface of chemical technology, applied physics and biomedical technology. Fields of application include sustainable energy, process technology and materials science, nanotechnology and technical medicine. Research, which enjoys a high profile both at home and internationally, has been accommodated in the multidisciplinary research institutes IMPACT, MESA+ and MIRA. The faculty works together intensively with industrial partners and researchers in the Netherlands and abroad and conducts extensive research for external commissioning parties and funders.<\/p>\n
