Join our cutting-edge regenerative medicine research team!
We are actively seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to contribute to our dynamic environment, backed by substantial grants from NIH and NSF. Utilizing a blend of biomaterial design, microtechnology, nanotechnology, mechanobiology, stem cell biology, and genetic approaches, the candidate will explore the fundamental mechanisms of tissue regeneration and develop advanced therapeutics for injuries, degeneration, and fibrosis in pulmonary, vascular, immune, and skeletal systems. The key research areas include: precision engineering of cellular microenvironments (e.g. doi.org/10.1002/advs.202001066) and single cell encapsulation therapy (e.g. doi.org/10.1038/s41551-021-00740-x); engineering immunomodulation and tissue remodeling (e.g. doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aaw0158); controlling extracellular vesicle-based therapeutic delivery (e.g. doi.org/10.1038/s41565-020-0636-2) and biomanufacturing (e.g. doi.org/10.1021/acsnano.1c03231). The Principal Investigator (PI) will foster a collaborative and inclusive research environment, supporting the candidate’s career development through paper preparation, fellowship applications, and national/international presentations.
Department
The laboratory is centrally located within the Department of Pharmacology and Regenerative Medicine at the College of Medicine (http://mcph.uic.edu). In this vibrant department, a diverse and dynamic community of junior and senior faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and PhD students collaboratively engage in cutting-edge research. The department's key strengths lie in expansive domains such as cell signaling, cardiovascular and lung biology, stem cells, regenerative medicine, and therapeutic development. Nationally recognized for its excellence, the department consistently ranks in the top 10 in both research funding and training within the field of Pharmacology and Regenerative Medicine, exemplifying a commitment to advancing impactful scientific endeavors.
Qualifications
The ideal candidate for this position should possess the following qualifications:
A Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Sciences or Engineering
Demonstrated expertise with a solid publication record in at least three of the following areas:
Cell biology and engineering, including skills in cell culture, flow cytometry, confocal microscopy
Molecular biology and engineering, showcasing proficiency in plasmid cloning and CRISPR techniques
Animal studies with rodents, involving experience in transplantation, survival surgery, and in vivo imaging
Hydrogel design and characterization, encompassing skills in chemical conjugation, NMR analysis, and rheological analysis
Microscale techniques, showing competence in micropipetting, atomic force microscopy, micropatterning, and microfluidics
A minimum of two first-author primary research articles published in international journals
Strong written and oral communication skills
Motivation to engage in reproducible, high-quality research to address novel scientific questions
Evidence of collaboration and a commitment to mentoring others
How to apply
Prospective candidates who meet the outlined criteria are invited to submit a comprehensive PDF file containing the following documents: a well-crafted cover letter, a detailed curriculum vitae (CV), and complete contact information (including email addresses and phone numbers) for three references. Please direct your application to Dr. Jae-Won Shin. Submissions should be sent via email to: shinjw@uic.edu.
