About the role
The University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine’s Department of Dermatology is recruiting Postdoctoral Associates with interests in Bioengineering. This is an exciting opportunity for individuals who thrive in an interesting, challenging, and highly collaborative work environment. Postdoctoral Associates will contribute to the department by focusing on developing clinically translatable biomedical technologies for skin vaccination and wearable diagnostics, as well as by validating these new technologies using human skin models and in vivo animal models.
The Postdoctoral Associates will carry out advanced independent and/or directed research to achieve the objectives of the research projects. They will work in multiple multidisciplinary projects and will have opportunities to collaborate with distinguished teams of PIs and other postdoctoral associates. They will help mentor junior trainees in related areas and assist in the management of resources and equipment used in engineering and in vitro and in vivo characterization of these next-generation skin-targeted biomedical technologies.
