About this position

Carnegie Mellon University’s Department of Mechanical Engineering is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate for a project at the intersection of cell engineering, biomaterials, and device-oriented bioengineering. The role focuses on characterizing engineered mammalian cells for therapeutic output and biomarker sensing, with particular attention to vascularization, angiogenesis, and tissue-engineering behavior in tissue-on-chip and implantable device environments.

The postdoctoral researcher will work on controlled in vitro and device-relevant studies that assess cell viability, function, stimulation response, optical reporter performance, and long-term stability. The project combines cell biology, biomaterials, quantitative imaging, and experimental engineering, and involves close collaboration with cell-engineering partners as well as teams working on devices, tissue engineering, optics, electronics, and systems integration.

Research activities include receiving, culturing, banking, and characterizing engineered cell lines; measuring proliferation, morphology, functional retention, reporter output, and stability; and developing assays for stimulation response, therapeutic secretion, and biomarker-responsive readouts. The position also includes longitudinal test-platform development, evaluation of matrix and compartment effects, and analysis of oxygen, nutrient, and repeated-measurement conditions that influence performance in biomaterial-supported and prototype device configurations.

The successful candidate will contribute to experimental planning, quantitative data analysis, reproducible documentation, and scientific communication through reports, presentations, and manuscripts. The role also includes collaboration across biological and engineering interfaces, helping translate cellular performance into testable device-interface requirements and recommendations for design iteration and validation.

The environment is highly interdisciplinary and anchored in CMU’s broader engineering and research ecosystem, with emphasis on collaboration, technical rigor, and integrated bio-device research.

Funding details

Full-time postdoctoral associate position with salary; benefits include medical, dental, vision, retirement contributions, tuition benefits, paid time off, and life/disability insurance. No stipend amount is stated.

What's required

Ph.D. in Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Bioengineering, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Synthetic Biology, Tissue Engineering, or a closely related field. 0-1 years of experience is indicated. Applicants should have demonstrated experience designing and executing quantitative mammalian-cell experiments, sterile culture technique, viability/proliferation/functional-response/longitudinal assays, fluorescence imaging or plate-reader measurements, and statistical data analysis. Ability to troubleshoot complex assays, maintain reproducible records, and communicate across disciplines is required. Experience with engineered therapeutic or sensing cells, optogenetic or electrogenetic systems, secretion assays, calcium signaling, hydrogel or ECM culture, perfusion or microfluidic platforms, or cell integration with biomedical devices is preferred. Prior biosafety, chemical hygiene, and BSL-2 laboratory training is preferred, and applicable institutional safety training must be completed before laboratory work. Human- or animal-subject activities require the relevant approvals and training before participation.

How to apply

Apply through the Carnegie Mellon Workday job posting using the provided application link. Complete the online application and be prepared to satisfy any institutional safety or compliance training before lab work begins.
