About this role
The Fraunhofer Translation Center for Regenerative Therapies (TLZ-RT) at Fraunhofer ISC in Würzburg develops innovative solutions for the life sciences sector at the intersection of biology, materials science, laboratory automation, and biomedical translation.
The focus is on cell-based tissue models and test systems, novel biomaterials, and scalable production processes for preclinical and clinical applications. Our partners include companies from the medical technology, cosmetics, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical sectors, as well as clinical institutions.
For our Human-Relevant in vitro Models & Test Systems department, we are looking for a Research Associate to join our team in Würzburg starting January 1, 2027, and contribute to application-oriented research and development projects.
