Postdocs and Technicians

We are hiring six (6) postdoctoral associates to be part of a cohort of postdocs joining multiple research groups in a new, interdisciplinary laboratory in the BioInspired Institute for Material and Living Systems. The BioInspired Institute spans multiple departments in the Colleges of Arts and Sciences and the College of Engineering and Computer Science. The overarching goals of the Institute are to enhance collaboration and promote world-class interdisciplinary research to quantitatively understand complex biological systems, and rationally design programmable smart materials to address grand challenges in health, medicine, and materials innovation.

Postdoctoral associates in this cohort will:

  • Join an exciting and dynamic multidisciplinary institute that includes an existing population of 20+ postdocs.
  • Work in newly-renovated, interdisciplinary laboratories in the Center for Science and Technology, along with other BioInspired faculty, students, and postdocs from Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, and Physics.
  • Have access to the Institute’s extensive Professional Development Program, which focuses on skills of special interest to trainees in STEM.
  • Access numerous Institute and campus resources including the BioInspired Materials Characterization Core, the Blatt Bioimaging Center, Syracuse University Research Computing clusters, and more.

To apply, please see the individual position descriptions released by each faculty principle investigator:

  • Theodore Walker: Synthesis and characterization of catalytic materials or computational tools and theories for modeling biological systems, especially in solvent effects and liquid phase biomass conversion processes. Apply here.
  • Yaoying Wu: This postdoc will  design biomaterial platforms for the delivery of biologics to modulate immune cell function. The hire will will have ample opportunities to collaborate with bioengineers, chemists, microbiologists, and immunologists. Apply here.
  • Yi Zheng: This position seeks a postdoc to conduct research on controllable and reproducible human biosystems using stem cells; and to apply these biosystems for new discoveries in human development, disease etiology, and regenerative medicine. Apply here.
