Postdoctoral Fellow, Biomedical Engineering

Job description
New Orleans, LA
A postdoctoral research position is available in the Microphysiological Systems Laboratory directed by Asst. Professor Mark Mondrinos at Tulane University. The position is based in the Department of Biomedical Engineer.
The position will offer outstanding training opportunities that demand the integration of multiple disciplines in biomedical engineering and science, including microphysiological systems engineering (microfabrication, microfluidics, physiologically-inspired design), tissue engineering, and pathobiology to develop next generation in vitro human organ models and multi-organ ‘body-on-a-chip’ models. Our laboratory specializes in front-end research and development of models of injury and disease, including respiratory injuries, infectious diseases and cancer. Specific project topics will be emergent, but it is anticipated that the successful candidate will lead the development of a multi-organ model of cancer cachexia (i.e. systemic effects of malignancy), while also contributing to the development of respiratory exposure injury and viral infection models, including models of vaping-induced lung injury and SARS-CoV2 infection.
This exciting, multi-disciplinary research and development will be carried out in close collaboration with our colleagues at the Tulane School of Medicine, Tulane Cancer Center and Tulane National Primate Research Center. With labs at both the medical campus and the main campus (School of Science and Engineering), there are outstanding opportunities to collaborate with engineers, scientists and clinicians.
