1. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University seeks a talented Postdoctoral Fellow who is an engineer interested in biology research, or a biologist looking for engineering applications to join our Kidney team. Led by Jennifer Lewis and with technical guidance from the multidisciplinary bioprinting research team, you will work to complete independent and team research projects involving 3D bioprinting using stem-cell derived human kidney organoids. The work will focus on building from organ-on-chip platforms to more functional organ-level tissues.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
2. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Shih Laboratory explores design principles for self-assembling molecular machines. We seek outstanding postdoctoral applicants with expertise in biomolecular engineering or science to work with Institute faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and research staff to develop an approach that will develop DNA-nanostructured vehicles for therapeutic delivery of cargo to cytoplasmic and organellar destinations.

3. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The William Shih Laboratory, which explores design principles for self-assembling molecular machines, invites applications for a postdoctoral fellow position in the Wyss Molecular Robotics Initiative. We seek outstanding postdoctoral applicants with expertise in biomolecular engineering or science to develop hierarchical self-assembly of hundreds to thousands of distinct DNA origami into addressable microstructures, exploiting the principles of crisscross assembly innovated in our lab. Potential applications of interest include artificial extracellular matrices for regenerative medicine, breadboards for localized molecular computing, and nanophotonic devices.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
4. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The lab of Don Ingber, M.D., Ph.D., Founding Director at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University seeks outstanding postdoctoral applicants with expertise and knowledge of reproductive biology to join an interdisciplinary team of biologists and engineers focused on the use of human Organ Chips to study the effects of healthy and dysbiotic microenvironments on contraceptive function and enable development of novel, non-hormonal, contraceptives.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
5. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The candidate will join the Chaikof lab at Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and is expected to closely interact with an interdisciplinary team of immunologists, biomedical engineers, developmental biologists, and clinician-investigators. The project will focus on the evaluation of strategies to engineer human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) that evade both the adaptive and innate immune mechanisms of immune rejection. In the process, continuous and scalable bioprinting processes will be utilized to generate engineered extracellular matrices for blood vessel fabrication. The biomechanical and biological responses of engineered blood vessel equivalents will be investigated in vitro and in vivo.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
6. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The candidate will join the Chaikof lab at Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and is expected to closely interact with an interdisciplinary team of biomedical engineers, immunologists, developmental biologists, and clinician-investigators. The project will focus on the evaluation of strategies to engineer human blood vessels for disease modeling, organ fabrication, and reconstructive surgery using continuous and scalable bioprinting processes. The approach will use cells derived from genome edited human induced pluripotent stem cells that evade adaptive and innate immune mechanisms of immune rejection. The phenotypes of engineered vessels, including biomechanical and biological responses, will be investigated in vitro and in vivo.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
7. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University seeks outstanding postdoctoral applicants with expertise in cell biology or microbiology and microbiome research to join an interdisciplinary team of biologists and engineers to leverage in vitro organ-on-a-chip (Organ Chip) microfluidic culture systems to study and model the intestinal tract and microbiome and its influences on diseases, such as malnutrition-associated with environmental enteric dysfunction (EED), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and radiation-induced injury, as well as therapeutic responses.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
8. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Shih Laboratory explores design principles for self-assembling molecular machines. We seek outstanding postdoctoral applicants with expertise in immunology and/or biomolecular engineering to work with Institute faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and research staff to develop an approach that will develop cytsolic delivery of RNA nanostructures for innate immunotherapeutic RIG-I activation.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
