The position will be renewed yearly based upon performance assessment with the principal investigator. The candidate should hold a PhD in biomedical engineering (or related field) and will have a strong background in a combination of the following disciplines/techniques including tissue engineering, microfluidics, molecular and cell biology, biochemistry and mammalian cell & tissue culture. The research project(s) will include developing advanced tissue vascularization models using microfluidic-based approaches for multi-tissue organ modeling. Individuals with experience in biochemistry and mammalian cell culture as well as fluid dynamics, polymer/materials science would be considered particularly ideal candidates. In addition to the research efforts, the candidate will be expected to participate as a teaching assistant for graduate level courses at 50% effort. The candidate will be responsible for basic laboratory research, performing technical aspects of assigned projects, development and optimization of lab protocols and procedures, ordering reagents and keeping track of reagents and lab materials, and helping in the training of other research staff and students in the lab in certain technical skills. The position is multi-fold and seeks to bolster the candidate’s research portfolio as well as provide teaching opportunities in both didactic and experiential learning and thus will provide the candidate with experience for transition into an environment attune to educating. The teaching component of this position is at the graduate level and may also include directing capstone internship projects for M.S. candidates over the Fall, Spring and Summer semesters (limited to 1-2 students per semester). This position requires the individual to be on premises full time.
