About this position

Postdoctoral research position at the University of Maryland, College Park in the Laboratory for MicroTechnologies and the Neurobiology Lab, focused on biomolecular research for a cell-based artificial nose (e-nose).

The project is part of a multidisciplinary and international collaboration between UMD and the Anhydrobiosis Research Group at the National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences (NARO) in Tsukuba, Japan. The researcher will split time between the two sites, working primarily at NARO and spending shorter periods at UMD. The work sits at the intersection of cellular engineering, neurobiology, and sensor development, with a clear translational angle toward artificial olfaction.

The postdoc will design and construct expression vectors, develop gene-editing approaches, and optimize insertion of olfactory receptor genes and genetically encoded fluorescent sensors into cell lines. The researcher will also characterize odor responses using imaging-based assays and contribute to the broader effort to build a portable artificial olfaction device. The role includes opportunities to participate in study design, manuscript preparation, conference presentations, intellectual property development, data management, and collaborative research across the two laboratories.

The advertised environment is a multidisciplinary research setting linking engineering and biological science at a major public research university, with direct international collaboration and exposure to both lab-based biomolecular work and emerging sensor technologies.

Funding details

Funded under the NSF program Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation: Engineered Living Systems (EFRI ELiS). Salary range: $75k - $90k.

What's required

A Ph.D. in cellular or molecular biology, or a related field is required. Applicants should have experience with modern molecular biology techniques, including cloning and expression systems, CRISPR-based genome editing, and functional assays. Preferred qualifications include experience with cell culture, creation of stable cell lines, microfluidics, successful heterologous gene expression, and/or fluorescence imaging. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States on the first day of employment and authorized to work as a visiting scientist in Japan within two months of the start date. No Japanese language requirement is stated.
