Job Description
About the Opportunity
Responsibilities:
During the postdoctoral appointment Mechanobiology Postdoctoral Fellows will be mentored by two (or more) members of Northeasternscore faculty at the Institute for Mechanobiology (IfM)in Boston MA (see list of the IfM core faculty). This position has an initial 2-year appointment renewable for one additional year contingent upon outstanding accomplishments and successful external funding support. The position will be associated with one of the following specialization areas:
1. Mechanobiology in aging in the musculoskeletal system or the cardiovascular system: this area focuses on the application of mechanobiology technology and discovery to the aging research.
2. Immunomechanobiology: this area covers the study that intersects the research areas of mechanobiology with immunology.
3. Biomaterio-mechanobiology: this area leverages novel biomaterial designs to advance mechanobiology and mechanotherapeutics.
4. Neuromechanobiology: this area focuses on discovering the mechanobiological basis of neurons neural networks and the brain in memory learning cognitive function in health and neurodegenerative diseases.
5. Oncomechanobiology:this area focuses on mechanobiological basis of development stem cells and cancer with the aim to discover new pathways of intervention in pathological conditions.
6. Mechanobiology in health: this area focuses on discovering the mechanobiological basis of whole-body functions in health and in diseases.
7. Mechanobiology technology applied to mechanodiagnostics and mechanotherapeutics.
Qualifications:
The successful candidate should have a Ph.D. in engineering science or health-related fields by the time of appointment. Candidates are not required to have any prior working experience.
