About this position

Northeastern University’s Bajpayee Lab is seeking a postdoctoral associate for NIH-funded and industry-collaborative research on cartilage-targeted gene delivery. The project focuses on engineering charge-guided delivery systems that can penetrate dense, negatively charged tissues.

The researcher will design gene delivery systems through chemical conjugation and molecular engineering, and will quantitatively analyze transport, partitioning, and binding kinetics in biological matrices. The work also includes conducting and contributing to in vivo studies in musculoskeletal models.

The postdoctoral associate will lead multiple projects across federal and industry-funded programs, independently develop and publish high-impact manuscripts, train and mentor students, and help manage project budgets and presentations. The research environment combines gene therapy, biomaterials, drug delivery, quantitative modeling, and translational research within Northeastern’s research enterprise.

Relevant research directions include delivery of mRNA, DNA, and CRISPR systems; cartilage and extracellular-matrix transport; and polyelectrolyte-based delivery technologies.

Funding details

This is a full-time research position with an expected hiring salary range of $60,315.00–$85,192.50. Northeastern University states that benefit-eligible employees receive benefits including medical, vision, dental, paid time off, tuition assistance, wellness and life benefits, retirement benefits, and commuting and transportation support.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD and have a strong first-author publication record. Required expertise includes chemical conjugation, biomaterials, or drug/gene delivery, along with experience in quantitative modeling such as transport or kinetics and comfort working with animal models. Ideal candidates have experience with mRNA, DNA, or CRISPR gene delivery; a background in cartilage, extracellular-matrix transport, or polyelectrolyte systems; and prior exposure to translational or industry-linked research. Candidates should be highly motivated, accountable, able to work independently, manage multiple projects, write and publish manuscripts, and mentor students.
