The Laboratory for Multiscale Biosystem Engineering, led by Dr. Yi Zheng, in the Department of Biomedical and Chemical Engineering and Bioinspired Institute at Syracuse University, is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to conduct research on human stem cell-derived organoids/embryoids. Dr. Zheng has authored more than 30 journal articles, including Nature, Nature Materials, Cell Stem Cell, Science Advances, Nature Communications and Nature Protocols. His research has been recognized as a major breakthrough in related fields, and widely highlighted by public media, including Nature, National Public Radio, MIT Technology Review, BBC News, Chemical & Engineering News, Washington Times, ScienceDaily, etc. The postdoctoral scholar will work with human pluripotent stem cells and apply cutting-edge engineering approaches, including microfluidics/Lab-on-a-Chip, biomaterials, and 3D printing, to generate 3D organoids and embryoids with high precision and reproducibility. The scholar will use these models to study the fundamental mechanisms of human development and morphogenesis, aiming to uncover insights specific to the human system. Additionally, the postdoctoral scholar will investigate how environmental factors and lifestyle choices impact the structure and function of these in vitro models. The initial appointment will be for one year, with potential for renewal, pending annual review of performance. Qualifications

Ph.D. in engineering, science or related fields. Those with experience in biological cell culture, microfabrication, bioinformatics, and tissue engineering are particularly encouraged to apply. Responsibilities

Syracuse University has a long history of engaging veterans and the military-connected community through its educational programs, community outreach, and employment programs. After World War II, Syracuse University welcomed more than 10,000 returning veterans to our campus, and those veterans literally transformed Syracuse University into the national research institution it is today. The University’s contemporary commitment to veterans builds on this historical legacy, and extends to both class-leading initiatives focused on making an SU degree accessible and affordable to the post-9/11 generation of veterans, and also programs designed to position Syracuse University as the employer of choice for military veterans, members of the Guard and Reserve, and military family members. Commitment to a Respectful and Welcoming Community Syracuse University fosters a welcoming learning environment where students, faculty, administrators, staff, curriculum, social activities, governance, and all aspects of campus life reflect a broad range of perspectives and experiences. The University community values the many similarities and differences among individuals and groups. At Syracuse, we are committed to preparing students to engage with and appreciate the richness of backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences that shape our society. To achieve this, we strive to cultivate a community that respects and encourages open dialogue, understanding, and mutual respect. Required fields are indicated with an asterisk (*).
