About this position

The Department of Biological Systems Engineering at Virginia Tech is recruiting a postdoctoral associate for a translational project on preclinical evaluation of engineered drug and gene delivery systems. The work centers on designing nanoformulations or devices that can improve the efficacy and safety of biologically active drugs and gene therapies.

The successful postdoc will join Dr. Wujin Sun and a team of researchers at Virginia Tech. The role is strongly experimental and hands-on, with responsibility for leading in vivo efficacy and safety studies, bioimaging, and histological analysis. The position sits within an engineering-led biomedical research environment that connects drug delivery, biological systems engineering, and preclinical testing.

This opening is aimed at a researcher who can contribute to advanced delivery-system development and evaluate how these engineered platforms perform in biological settings. The project language indicates a focus on the interface between engineering design and biomedical validation, including animal-based testing and analysis of tissue responses. The work is based at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg and is embedded in a department that supports applied research in biological systems engineering.

Funding details

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

What's required

A PhD awarded no more than four years prior to the effective date of appointment, with at least one year of eligibility remaining, in physiology, pharmacology, immunology, bioengineering, biomedical engineering, veterinary or biomedical sciences, biological systems engineering, 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 in vivo animal studies, rodent handling and treatment administration, mouse models of disease or wound healing and tissue repair, intravital/confocal/two-photon microscopy, histology and immunofluorescence analysis, and drug delivery.
