Postdoctoral researchers
The ARC Training Centre in Cell and Tissue Engineering Technologies will offer positions for postdoctoral fellows to complete industry-led research and participate in a specially developed training program.
CTET’s research program will train postdoctoral research fellows to drive ground-breaking technologies in order to support the current and future market needs of the tissue engineering and regenerative medicine sector. The business-focused projects will provide the necessary background studies that will catalyse a highly productive commercialisation environment and aid the transition of small-medium enterprises into larger firms.
CTET will deliver a number of economic and health benefits through the training of students and postdoctoral researchers, including:
- Innovative biomimetic materials and cutting-edge technology solutions for the advanced manufacturing of cell-based or cell-derived products, sensors and monitoring systems for application in bioreactors which will lead to lower cost, more efficient, and more broadly available cell and tissue-based technologies
- Enhanced supply chain capabilities for cell and tissue engineering therapies
- Industry-ready graduates and early career researchers with innovative, translational, cross-disciplinary and entrepreneurial mind-sets
- Enhanced existing and new collaborative engagement between academia and industry leading to globally competitive commercialisation of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine technologies
- Strengthened networks of related Australian and global companies fostering a higher rate of successful collaboration, competitiveness and market access
- Advanced manufacturing and business development scale and capability that attract global investments into Australia
- Greater access of Australian SMEs to capital and investments for product and business development.
