Postdoc in Hyaluronan Science, Mechanobiology, and Biomechanics at Purdue University Purdue University in United States

Purdue University’s Chan Lab in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for work in hyaluronan biology, mechanobiology, and biomechanics. The project spans multiple scales, from cell-level questions to systems-level behavior, and includes research directions such as animal models, matrix/ECM biology, and nano-to micro-scale biomechanics.

This is an NIH-funded postdoc position at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, United States. The role is renewable for up to 4 years. The lab notes that the successful candidate should bring expertise that can help push the work in new directions while staying connected to the lab’s core questions.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering, biology, or a related field. Preferred expertise includes animal models, matrix and/or mechanobiology, or nano-to micro-scale biomechanics. Strong project management, communication, and mentorship skills are also expected. Candidates who can start within 6 months are preferred.

Application: review the details at the application link and submit materials by email rather than through LinkedIn. The post indicates that applicants should provide a cover letter, CV, and contact information for three references. Review begins immediately.
