Description

The Cellular Engineering and Nano-Therapeutics Laboratory (CENT LAB) in the University of Michigan, Department of Biomedical Engineering, is seeking highly qualified applicants for a postdoctoral position in the area of drug delivery, polymer therapeutics, and bio-nanotechnology.

Description: The mission of the CENT Lab is to develop novel polymeric drug delivery systems that can selectively deliver a wide range of therapeutic molecules to target tissues with cellular and sub-cellular accuracy for treatment of life-threatening diseases. The primary focus of this postdoctoral position is the design, synthesis, and characterization of new stimuli-sensitive polymers for biomedical applications. This position is available immediately for one year subject for renewal based on research progress and the availability of funds.

Qualifications: The ideal candidate should have a Ph.D. degree in polymer chemistry, organic chemistry, material science, chemical engineering, or a related field with an extensive experience in controlled free radical polymerization techniques (e.g. RAFT; ATRP) and a strong publication record. The candidate should have excellent verbal and written communication skills, able to work independently and collaboratively, plan and perform experiments, analyze data, communicate results in reports and scientific publications, and quickly learn new techniques.
