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.

Funding details

Newly funded NIH project; postdoctoral research associate position. The post does not specify stipend or tuition details.

What's required

Candidates should have strong expertise in cell biology, corneal or ocular biology, or mechanobiology, including primary cell culture, gene knockdown, imaging, and molecular assays. Prior engineering experience is not required, as training in organ-on-chip and microfluidic methods will be provided. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and an early start is strongly preferred.

How to apply

Email a cover letter, CV, and contact information for three references to jkim at mech.utah.edu. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so apply as soon as possible.
