About this position
The Beckman Laser Institute at the University of California, Irvine is anticipating multiple postdoctoral scholar openings for the 2026–27 academic year. These positions sit within a highly interdisciplinary biomedical research environment at the Beckman Laser Institute and Medical Clinic in the School of Medicine, where the work connects engineering, optics, and life sciences.
Successful candidates will contribute to research spanning biomedical photonics and optoelectronics, nano- and microscale systems and fabrication, computation and modeling, biomolecular and cellular engineering, biomaterials, tissue and regenerative engineering, neuroengineering, systems biology, and cardiovascular engineering. The advert particularly highlights candidates who can bring physics and optics expertise and help integrate new optical technologies into existing systems. Experience in molecular biology and cell culture is also desirable, underscoring the blend of engineering and biological experimentation expected in the role.
The recruitment is for postdoctoral scholar levels 0 through IV and is open on an ongoing basis while funding is available. Appointments are intended to support collaborative, team-based research at Beckman Laser Institute, which is known for translational and interdisciplinary work at the interface of laser science, biomedical engineering, and medicine.
