About this position

The Department of Biological Systems Engineering at Virginia Tech is seeking a postdoctoral associate for research on engineering biomaterial platforms for drug and gene delivery. The project centers on designing nanoformulations and delivery devices that can improve the efficacy and safety of biologically active drugs and gene therapies.

The successful candidate will join Dr. Wujin Sun and a team of researchers at Virginia Tech. The role is hands-on and interdisciplinary, with responsibilities that include biomaterial design, device fabrication, and formulation characterization. The project sits within a research environment focused on translational biomaterials and delivery technologies.

The appointment is based at Virginia Tech in the Department of Biological Systems Engineering, a unit within a major research university with broad biomedical, engineering, and life-science activity. The position is intended for a recent PhD graduate who can contribute creatively and independently to the development and evaluation of advanced delivery systems.

Funding details

Salary information listed as $53,550-$65,029, commensurate with experience.

What's required

A PhD must have been awarded no more than four years prior to the effective date of appointment, with at least one year of eligibility remaining, in pharmaceutical engineering, polymer science, materials science and engineering, chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, biological systems engineering, chemistry, or a related scientific or engineering field. The candidate should be self-motivated, show initiative and creativity, and have effective communication skills. Preferred experience includes hydrogel or polymer synthesis and characterization, microneedle or transdermal delivery device fabrication, controlled release formulation, bioconjugation or surface functionalization, and in vitro cell studies.
