Scholarship Description:
A postdoc position is open in the Cai Lab, part of the Health Technology and Engineering Institute (Tech4Health) at NYU Grossman School of Medicine (NYUGSOM, ranked # 2 in US medical schools by ‘U.S. News & World Report’). We are also open to PhD applicants in Bioengineering. We build new paradigms of nanotechnology for use in biological and biomedical applications, including nano-engineered cell interfaces for mechanobiology study and biosensing. Our recent publications in this field include: Nature Materials, 2019, 18, 1366. Nature Nanotechnology, 2018, 13, 610. The postdoc will receive competitive stipend and benefits such as health insurance and university housing.

Available Subjects:
Engineering, biophysics, biology, chemistry, materials science or other related fields.
Eligibility criteria:
The postdoc candidates must have a PhD in engineering, biophysics, biology, chemistry, materials science or other related fields. Those with a background in mechanobiology, nano-bio interfaces, biosensing, and expertise in selective surface biofunctionalization (self-assembled monolayer, biolinkers/ligands, DNA as linker/probe/scaffolds, supported lipid bilayer, etc), soft materials (elastomer, hydrogel, etc), cell assays, fluorescence microscopy, atomic force microscopy, nanofabrication (soft lithography, block copolymer micelle nanolithography, or e-beam lithography, etc) are encouraged to apply. Experience that spans multiple fields is a plus. We seek candidates who are strongly motivated, open-minded, and capable of both independent and collaborative research work. Demonstrated ingenuity, productivity, communication and writing skills, and an excellent record of publications is preferred.
Application Procedure:
To apply, send your CV to Dr. Haogang Cai, at haogang.cai@nyu.edu. Please include a detailed description of your research interests, a full list of publications, and names of three references. This position will remain open until filled.
