About the Position

Postdoctoral Research Opportunities in Our Lab:We are excited to announce two postdoctoral research opportunities in our lab, each with distinct focus areas and skill requirements. Both positions offer competitive compensation.1. Postdoctoral Position in Animal WorkWe are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with a strong background in animal work. The ideal candidate will have extensive training in their Ph.D. program and be capable of independently conducting research involving animal models. The specific focus areas encompass at least one of the following disciplines: cardiovascular research, immunology, and microbiota studies.The successful candidate will be responsible for designing and executing animal experiments and analyzing molecular biology and cellular biology data.2. Postdoctoral Position in Device Fabrication and Systems EngineeringWe are also looking for a postdoctoral researcher with extensive expertise in device fabrication, (opto)electronic design, and systems engineering. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in these areas.The successful candidate will be responsible for developing new devices and systems, troubleshooting and optimizing existing technologies, and collaborating with other researchers to apply these devices in biological and medical research.
