Biomedical Colloid & Interface Lab

• One Postdoc position available

  • Description: One postdoctoral position is available for research on development of drug delivery systems and examination of the drug delivery in vitro and in vivo. The research will involve colloid synthesis, polymer membrane fabrication, characterization, drug release kinetics analysis, gene expression quantification, and the efficacy test in vivo.  The postdoctoral fellow will be joining a collaborative team including the Principal Investigator, scientists in Chemical Engineering, clinicians in Ophthalmology, industry partners, undergraduate and graduate students. The postdoctoral fellow will work on hypothesis testing, experimental design, data analysis, in vitro cell culture, and preclinical (animal experiments) tests, and will mentor graduate and undergraduate research assistants. 

  • Minimum qualifications: Ph.D. or equivalent doc toral degree in biology, chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, material science and engineering, or a related engineering or science discipline.

  • Additional Information:  Preference will be given to applicants with experience in drug delivery using liposomes, gene expression quantification and material synthesis. Part-time positions are also considered.
