About this position

Carnegie Mellon University’s Department of Mechanical Engineering is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to contribute to interdisciplinary research at the interface of biology, biomedical engineering, and engineered devices. The role is centered on biological aspects of biomedical device development and spans cell culture, biomaterials, tissue engineering, biochemical and molecular assays, microscopy, and functional validation.

The successful candidate will plan and coordinate experiments across the research program, work with collaborators and device teams, and help assess biological function, reproducibility, and long-term performance. The position involves culture, maintenance, banking, and characterization of mammalian and engineered cells; development of assays and microscopy-based analyses; and evaluation of cell viability, growth, phenotype, and function.

The work also includes preparing and assessing biomaterial-supported and tissue-engineered biological systems, studying how materials and culture conditions affect performance, and integrating biological components with device subsystems. The postdoc will maintain traceable records and laboratory protocols, analyze biological datasets, prepare reports and manuscripts, and contribute to scientific dissemination. Mentoring students and junior researchers is also part of the role as appropriate.

This is a team-based position in a mechanically oriented engineering environment with strong links to biological and device research, requiring close collaboration across biological, sensing, and electronics teams.

Funding details

Full-time postdoctoral associate/fellow position with salary; benefits include medical, dental, vision, retirement contributions, tuition benefits, paid time off, holidays, life and disability insurance, and a free Pittsburgh Regional Transit bus pass.

What's required

Ph.D. in Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Bioengineering, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Tissue Engineering, or a closely related field is required. 1–3 years of experience is requested. Demonstrated experience with mammalian-cell culture and sterile technique, quantitative biological assays, microscopy or fluorescence measurements, and experimental design and data analysis is required. Ability to troubleshoot biological experiments, develop reproducible protocols, maintain accurate records, and communicate across biological and engineering disciplines is required. Prior biosafety, chemical hygiene, and BSL-2 laboratory training is preferred. Completion of applicable institutional safety training before assigned laboratory work is required, and any human- or animal-subject activities require relevant approvals and training before participation. Experience with engineered cells, biomaterials or hydrogel culture, tissue engineering, molecular characterization, longitudinal functional testing, or integration of biological systems with biomedical devices is preferred.
