Job Description
We are looking for a creative innovator who can work with us on new molecular/biomaterial chemistries to optimize connective tissue repair and regeneration.

We have a history of basic and translational research and start-ups.
A Ph.D. in biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, or similar field required. Expertise in polymers from a chemical and characterization perspective is encouraged, and knowledge of biomaterial/tissue interactions, gene expression, preferred.
The successful candidate will work with Dr. Michele Marcolongo, Drosdick Endowed Dean of Engineering. The position starts as early as Summer 2023.
