Prasanna Neelakantan

The MICRO Lab at the University of Alberta is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow with expertise in polymer chemistry, including biopolymers, to join a research project focused on the development of novel dental materials. The lab, led by Professor Prasanna Neelakantan, is dedicated to advancing antibiofilm therapies and promoting wound healing through innovative biomaterials research. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in dental materials, with a strong emphasis on materials chemistry, polymer science, and biopolymers. Applicants should have a substantial research background in materials chemistry, polymer, or biopolymer systems. While publications in these areas are not required, hands-on experience is mandatory. The position is open to candidates of all nationalities, though preference will be given to Canadian citizens and permanent residents. The appointment is for one year, with the possibility of renewal for an additional year, and is based in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry at the University of Alberta. To apply, candidates should submit their CV, a one-page summary statement outlining prior research experience related to materials chemistry, and the names and email addresses of three references who have been involved in their research. Applications should be sent by email to [email protected] with the subject line 'PDF in Biomaterials'. This is an excellent opportunity for researchers interested in polymer chemistry, biomaterials, dental materials, and wound healing to join a dynamic and innovative research group at a leading Canadian institution.
