Research Fellowship (MSc) – Stem and Immune Cell Bioengineering

iBET, has an open position for a research fellowship in the field of Biological Engineering available within the project “hiPSC-kiO”, Ref. projeto PI – 784, financed by internal funds.

Bachelor and Master in Biological Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Biotechnology, Biology, Biochemistry and related areas, with final Master grade equal or superior to 16/20.

Experience in:

1) human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) culture techniques;

2) cell culture in 3D strategies and bioreactor technology;

3) culture of kidney organoids and 4) analytics for characterization of cells and organoids (RT-PCR,flow cytometry, immunofluorescence microscopy).

Proficient use of the English language, both spoken and written. Motivation for applied research and good teamwork skills will be valued.

Development of a scalable bioprocess for generation of kidney organoids derived from hiPSC. Implementation of analytic tools for characterization of hiPSC and derived Kidney Organoids along the process.

The fellowship will have a duration of 6 months, eventually renewed until the end of project, without prejudice of the maximum limits foreseen by law. The expected starting date is 1 April 2026.
