Our lab has two immediately available postdoctoral positions: 1) for the development of biomaterials for controlled delivery of drugs/biological factors; and 2) for the development of cell-instructive biomaterials for musculoskeletal tissue repair and regeneration. Our laboratory is located in the Bindley Bioscience Center in Discovery Park, which includes state-of-the-art life sciences and engineering research facilities at Purdue University. Our research is based on the convergence of materials science, micro/nano-scale engineering, and cell biology/medicine. Applicants should have a strong research interest in biomaterials and have a doctoral degree in engineering, pharmaceutical science, chemistry, cell biology, medicine, or other related areas. The desirable candidate should have a track record of research experience in design and evaluation of biomaterials as evidenced by high quality publications. The successful candidate will benefit from working in our multidisciplinary research environment that includes chemists, bioengineers, cell biologists, pharmaceutical scientists, and surgeons.
