About this position
Brown University School of Engineering is advertising a Postdoctoral Researcher opening in the Shukla Lab for Designer Biomaterials, led by Anita Shukla (Elaine I. Savage Professor of Engineering).
The project is NIH-funded and focuses on developing bacteria-responsive biomaterials and nanomedicine platforms for the treatment of infected wounds. The researcher will work in a multidisciplinary environment and contribute to the design, testing, and evaluation of next-generation biomaterials for infection control and antimicrobial resistance.
Research activities include developing novel biomaterials and nanomedicine systems, establishing and using ex vivo and in vivo infection models, evaluating material efficacy in relevant disease models, and collaborating across disciplines while mentoring students.
Preferred background includes one or more of the following: organic synthesis, chemical characterization, biomaterials, drug delivery, antimicrobial materials, microbiology, immunology, biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, and in vivo disease models such as murine or porcine models.
The position start date is September 1, 2026 (flexible), and applications are open until filled. Interested candidates should contact the lab/PI directly via the LinkedIn post.
