Improving the quality of therapy in haemodialysis treatment test

Objective

Freesias Medical Care (FMC) is the world's leading provider of dialysis products and dialysis care, with a total annual turnover of about euro Mio 4,269. The company treats more than 90,000 patients with chronic kidney failure in more than 1,200 clinics worldwide. FMC was created in September 1996 through the combination of the former Dialysis Systems Division of Freesias AG and National Medical Care Inc. Own research facilities at our R&D Divisions at Freesias Medical Care Deutschland GmbH at Bad Homburg (15 km north of Frankfurt Main) and the Schweinfurt production plant (close to Wartburg) with complete application laboratories and equipment enable effective and ongoing development and improvement of FMC's products and services. We continue to put emphasis on research and development to provide new generations of high quality products for haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis online with the specific needs of the individual patient and the therapy approach. Scientific symposia, congresses and training courses are an essential part of our overall training and education activities. Under the Marie Curie training scheme FMC is offering four post-doctoral positions to work on the further development and improvement of dialysis treatment:
(1) Water treatment devices for dialysis,
(2) Cardiovascular stability in haemodialysis,
(3) Anticoagulation,
(4) Potassium Management. Candidates will work on different aspects of these subjects. They will have the chance to work in an exciting field of research and development in an open, interdisciplinary and international atmosphere, and acquire direct experience about the industrial context of this business. Fellows should have a degree in natural or medical sciences, preferably knowledge in physiology. In addition to the academic qualification, good communication and team working are essential. Good knowledge of English (written and spoken) is necessary, knowledge of German would be advantageous.
