    Job Description

    Job DescriptionSalary: $60,000

    Postdoctoral research opportunities are available at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI) for outstanding candidates. TIBI is actively developing technology platforms that utilize micro- and nanoscale technologies to study human disease and develop therapeutics on a personalized level. To enable this vision, TIBI works closely with clinicians, including interventional radiologists, cardiologists, and surgeons. Headed by Dr. Khademhosseini, TIBI is a highly multidisciplinary research institute with numerous projects that utilize organ-on-a-chip systems to mimic human physiology and pathology and enable patient-specific evaluation of drug candidates.
    For this particular position, we are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher who can work on developing organs-on-a-chip technologies for modeling various human organs (brain, lymph node, liver, blood vessels, skin, and/or eye) and their associated diseases (cancer, neurodegeneration, wound healing, and allo/autoimmunity) for drug screening application. The applicant is expected to work in a highly interdisciplinary environment and drive scientific and technical innovation with other group members and with TIBI's community.


    Required Qualifications:

    • Ph.D. in biomedical engineering or related disciplines.

    • A strong record of publications in organs-on-chip technologies, including microfluidics (fabrication and simulation), cell biology (cancer, immunology, and in vitro modeling), and/or biomarker detection (ELISA and biosensors).

    • Outstanding communication skills, both oral and written, and ability to work in a highly multidisciplinary environment.


    Preferred Qualifications:

    • Experience with microfabrication, including soft lithography, metal deposition, and computational fluid dynamics.

    • Experience with organs-on-a-chip technologies, including design, characterization, and validation.

    • Experience with cell cultures (immortalized cells, primary cells, and stem cells) and cell characterization (microscopic imaging, flow cytometry, and gene/protein expression).

    • Experience with biomarker detection, including ELISA, ELISPOT, Luminex, and electrochemical biosensors.


    Responsibilities:

    • Conduct research in the field of organs-on-a-chip, which includes cell biology, tissue engineering, microfabrication, and biomaterials, for funded research grants (NIH, DoD, Private Foundations, and Industry Sponsored Research)

    • Propose creative and novel solutions to current biomedical problems by developing hypotheses, designing experimental plans, carrying out experiments, analyzing results, and writing research papers.

    • Keep track of the current literature in organs-on-a-chip and related fields and write comprehensive review papers.

    • Engage in the dissemination of the research in regular group meetings, internal seminars, national/international scientific conferences, and journal publications.

    • Conceive ideas for grant proposals, submit postdoctoral fellowship applications, and assist faculty in grant proposal writing (NIH, NSF, and DoD).

    • Manage other researchers, including trainees, junior fellows, and visiting students in the fields of organs-on-a-chip and bioengineering.

    • Engage in appropriate training of lab personnel and lab maintenance, including equipment maintenance and ordering supplies as the principal investigators require.

    • Work closely with other members of TIBI to conduct and carry out the research, share research ideas, and come up with solutions for scientific/clinical problems.


    Applications – Please include the following documents in ONE DOCX or PDF File:

    • Research statement, including a summary of previous research experiences, along with motivation and specific fit for the mission of the TIBI. Suggested length: 1-3 pages

    • Curriculum Vitae
