About this position

The Department of Biological Systems Engineering at Virginia Tech is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate to contribute to a project on engineering non-viral gene delivery systems. The research focuses on designing nanoformulations or devices that can improve the efficacy and safety of biologically active drugs and gene therapies.

The selected researcher will work with Dr. Wujin Sun and a team of researchers at Virginia Tech. Core project activities include nanocarrier formulation, nucleic acid construct preparation, and delivery efficiency optimization. The role is centered on building and evaluating delivery platforms for advanced therapeutic applications.

This position is based in the Department of Biological Systems Engineering within Virginia Tech’s research environment in Blacksburg. The project sits at the intersection of bioengineering, molecular delivery, and nano-enabled therapeutic systems, offering the opportunity to contribute to translational research on gene and drug delivery technologies.

Funding details

Salary listed at $53,550-$65,029, commensurate with experience; 40 hours per week; exempt appointment.

What's required

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, biochemistry, molecular biology, chemical biology, bioengineering, chemical engineering, biological systems engineering, chemistry, or a related scientific or engineering field. The applicant should be self-motivated, show initiative and creativity, and have effective communication skills. Preferred experience includes nanoparticle or lipid nanoparticle formulation, genetic engineering methods such as CRISPR, transposon systems, and gene delivery vectors, plasmid DNA and mRNA preparation, cell transfection and transgene expression analysis, and drug delivery.

How to apply

Apply through the Virginia Tech careers portal using the application link provided. Prepare materials demonstrating relevant postdoctoral experience in gene delivery, nanocarrier formulation, and related molecular/engineering methods. Be ready for a criminal conviction check if selected.
