Faircraft is developing a sustainable alternative to leather, based on cell culture and tissue engineering. Our ambition is to reinvent materials production by combining science, design, and sustainability. Join a passionate team at the intersection of biology and innovation.
As a Tissue Engineering Intern, you will be at the heart of our R&D. You will evaluate physical, biochemical, and process-based strategies to optimize the material and aesthetic properties of our cell-cultured leather.
Experimental Design: Assist in designing and executing experiments to enhance the material and aesthetic properties of our cell culture tissues and leathers.
Characterization: Conduct rigorous biological, biochemical, and physical analysis to evaluate the properties of our cell culture tissues and leathers.
Process Optimization: Identify and iterate on key process parameters to enhance our cell culture tissues and leathers.
Documentation: Maintain records of experimental workflows and results.
Education: Final-year Master’s student in Biomedical Engineering, Bioprocess Engineering, Tissue Engineering, or a related biotechnology field.
Mindset: A strong biological foundation combined with a "maker" or "prototyping" mindset. You enjoy building setups as much as pipetting.
Cell culture: Hands-on experience with cell culture and an understanding of 3D tissue culture.
Analytical Rigor: Strong interest in experimental design and data interpretation.
Autonomy: Comfort working with laboratory equipment and a proactive approach to troubleshooting.
Soft Skills: High attention to detail, collaborative spirit, and fluency in English (our primary working language).
