Research Associate in Biomaterials and Implant Immunology

The University of Sheffield seeks a Research Associate to join a programme investigating the safety of implantable medical devices. The role involves establishing workflows for explanted devices, characterizing tissue and immune responses, and integrating findings into a developing explant research programme. The position requires a PhD in biomaterials, tissue engineering, cell biology, regenerative medicine, immunology, or a related field, along with experience in mammalian cell culture, human tissue-based research, and biomaterials testing. The successful candidate will collaborate with academic, clinical, regulatory, and patient partners, contributing to publications and project outputs with direct relevance to patient safety and post-market device surveillance.
