A full-time post-doctoral post is available immediately for two years on a fixed-term basis to support the work of Dr Timothy Holsgrove (https://emps.exeter.ac.uk/engineering/staff/th431).
The successful applicant will be responsible for the development and implementation of a six-axis bioreactor to apply physiological loads to intervertebral disc cultures. This will provide unique opportunities to investigate the coupling of mechanical and biological environments relating to disc degeneration, and in the development, optimisation, and evaluation of regenerative treatments.
The post will include:
