Postdoctoral Research Associate
About The Position
One postdoctoral fellow position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Jingwei Xie within the Department of Surgery-Transplant and Holland Regenerative Medicine Program at University of Nebraska Medical Center. Studies in the laboratory are focused on the design of nanofiber scaffolds for regenerative medicine. In addition, the laboratory explores the mechanisms of constructive remodeling of tissue engineered constructs by delineating how host tissue microenvironments interact, populate, and integrate into scaffold environments in vivo. Our group synergizes the expertise of clinicians, bioengineers, and molecular biologists in a dynamic research environment to produce clinically-viable biomaterials. This is an outstanding opportunity for persons interested in ultimately pursuing a medical and/or bioengineering career path.
Requirements
- PhD and/or MD
- Experience with stem cells for regenerative medicine is required.
- Strong history of publications in the areas of regenerative medicine, biomaterials, drug delivery, and tissue engineering are required.
- Excellent communication skills, both oral and written, are essential.
Nice To Haves
- Pathology and/or immunological expertise is a plus.
- An established publication record in biomaterials and tissue engineering is desired.
Responsibilities
- Design of nanofiber scaffolds for regenerative medicine.
- Explore the mechanisms of constructive remodeling of tissue engineered constructs by delineating how host tissue microenvironments interact, populate, and integrate into scaffold environments in vivo.
