About this position

The Lewis Laboratory in the Nancy E. and Peter C. Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering at Cornell University is seeking a postdoctoral associate to develop and apply advanced imaging and labeling methods for studying how the nervous system regulates osteocyte mechanotransduction in bone.

This project is centered on two complementary experimental directions: intravital multiphoton imaging of osteocyte signaling during mechanical loading in vivo, and whole-mount immunohistochemistry to map cholinergic nerve fibers in relation to osteocytes in intact bone. The work combines imaging with mechanical loading, genetic, pharmacological, and optogenetic approaches to test how neural signals influence which osteocytes respond to force and whether those responses contribute to long-term skeletal adaptation.

The position sits within the Lewis Lab, which develops intravital imaging approaches to interrogate new concepts in bone mechanotransduction. Cornell’s biomedical engineering environment brings together engineers, life scientists, and clinicians, and the university offers research infrastructure including multiphoton, confocal, light-sheet, and micro-CT imaging as well as engineering resources for biomechanics, design, and fabrication.

The successful candidate will take ownership of experimental development, troubleshoot and refine methods, analyze and interpret data, contribute to manuscripts and grant proposals, and work collaboratively with lab members and research partners.

Funding details

Postdoctoral Associate position with pay range of $62,232 - $88,745.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Bioengineering, Biology, Neuroscience, Physiology, or a related field by the start date. Candidates should have substantial hands-on research experience in at least one relevant area such as intravital or multiphoton imaging, immunohistochemistry, or whole-mount tissue labeling. The role requires demonstrated initiative and the ability to independently plan, carry out, troubleshoot, and interpret experiments, along with strong scientific writing and communication skills. Preferred qualifications include experience with calcium imaging, genetically encoded indicators, tissue clearing, imaging in mineralized tissues, bone biology, mechanobiology, neuroscience, musculoskeletal research, mouse research, mechanical loading, optogenetics, quantitative image analysis, or evidence of research productivity such as peer-reviewed publications.

How to apply

Submit a cover letter, CV, and names and contact information for three references online through Academic Jobs Online. Applications are accepted until the position is filled. Direct inquiries to Professor Karl Lewis at [email protected].
