DescriptionOverview The Biomedical Technologies Group at RTI International is a diverse research team in the design and development of innovative polymeric systems for health applications, with a focus on translation to early-stage products. The team is advancing various drug delivery systems such as topical formulations for pain management, nanoparticle-based mucosal vaccines, and subcutaneous implants for different medical indications. More recently, the Biomedical Technologies group is addressing the rising concerns of human health impacts from exposure to micro/nanoplastics, which now exist as ubiquitous global contaminants. By using well-characterized nanoplastics, the team is assessing the effects from the oral and inhaled exposure to these materials. The group is highly collaborative across RTI and externally, leveraging interdisciplinary expertise to advance research and development activities. We are currently seeking a highly motivated and experienced Research Scientist with a strong background in nano/microparticle therapeutic delivery. Ideally, you will have significant research experience, and the capability to contribute to business development through writing research proposals for government-funded projects. You will lead research initiatives, developing innovative therapeutic delivery systems, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to advance our scientific goals. Responsibilities Lead and conduct research projects focused on the design, synthesis, and characterization of nanoparticles and microparticles for therapeutic delivery. Develop and optimize drug delivery systems for targeted and controlled release of therapeutic agents. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate therapeutic delivery systems into broader research projects. Identify funding opportunities and write compelling research proposals for government grants and contracts. Collaborate with the business development team to align research goals with funding opportunities. Present research findings and project proposals to funding agencies and stakeholders. Additionally, you will plan, execute, and manage research projects, ensuring that all milestones and deliverables are completed on time. This involves maintaining detailed and accurate records of research activities, including data analysis and reporting.
