Are you interested in transforming an important scientific result into a product? Are you interested in being part of a high-tech start-up company?

Aalto University is now looking for a M.Sc. thesis and/or project worker in automation software for intelligent instruments to join a team of research experts of the Research to Business project WoundSprayIQ in the field of medical devices. The WoundSprayIQ project focuses on shortening hospitalization times and improving treatment results for complicated, difficult-to-heal wounds, including burns and chronic wounds. Traditional treatment of these wounds is expensive and exerts a long-term burden both on the individual patient and healthcare. The WoundSprayIQ project will revolutionize the treatment with an innovative hand-held device allowing an accurate, adaptive, and personalized application procedure, which will potentially greatly impact the global wound care market worth billions of euros.   

The position is in the Robotic Instruments group within the Department of Electrical Engineering and Automation. The work is in close cooperation with the Department of Pharmacology at  University of Helsinki.

The position can be started as a M.Sc. thesis, and continue as a Project Worker, or vice versa. Alternatively, it can be initiated directly as a Project Worker role. The position is available from the 1st  of October 2023 and can last for the duration of the project (18 months). Furthermore, there exists the potential for continued employment within a prospective start-up company that may emerge following the completion of the project.
