About this position
Postdoctoral Research Associate opportunity at the University of Utah in the Biomedical Micro-NanoSystems Lab, jointly connected with Mechanical Engineering and the John A. Moran Eye Center.
The project focuses on corneal mechanobiology and organ-on-chip engineering, specifically curvature-driven mechanotransduction in keratoconus. The research combines cornea chip engineering, corneal cell biology, gene perturbation, and transcriptomics, with close collaboration with clinician-scientists at the Moran Eye Center.
Ideal candidates should bring strong experience in cell biology, corneal/ocular biology, or mechanobiology. Helpful skills include primary cell culture, gene knockdown, imaging, and molecular assays. Prior engineering experience is not required because training in organ-on-chip and microfluidic methods will be provided.
This is a newly funded NIH project supporting a postdoctoral research associate appointment. The post mentions that applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and that an early start is preferred.
How to apply: send a cover letter, CV, and the contact information for three references to jkim at mech.utah.edu.
