PhD Student Opening in Tissue Engineering, Biomaterials, and Soft Materials at New York Institute of Technology

The Tissue Engineering and Advanced Materials (TEAM) Lab at the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) is recruiting a highly motivated PhD student for research in tissue engineering, biomaterials, and soft materials design. This opportunity is ideal for U.S.-based applicants interested in advanced translational research at the intersection of 3D biomaterials, regenerative medicine, and cancer tissue engineering. Research topics include cell and tissue engineering, biomaterials development, and the design of soft materials for medical applications. The lab focuses on innovative approaches to 3D cell culture, hydrogels, scaffold-based models, and translational applications in regenerative medicine and cancer research. Applicants should possess strong skills in mammalian cell culture techniques, including aseptic technique, passaging, thawing, and cryopreservation. Experience with 3D cell culture, hydrogels, or scaffold-based models is required. Familiarity with immunofluorescence staining, microscopy, and image analysis is expected, and knowledge of bioreactor systems, perfusion culture, or long-term cell viability assays is preferred. The position is based at NYIT, a leading institution in biomedical engineering and materials science research. The TEAM Lab offers a collaborative environment for students interested in cutting-edge research in tissue engineering and biomaterials. Funding details are not specified in the announcement. To apply, interested candidates should contact Assistant Professor Karrer Alghazali at [email protected] and review the TEAM Lab's research focus. U.S.-based applicants are prioritized for this position.
