Positions Available
Postdoctoral Position:
The Edelman Laboratory, located at the Institute for Medical Engineering and Science (IMES), integrates the fields of vascular biology, tissue engineering and biomedical engineering. The laboratory uses elements of continuum mechanics, digital signal processing, molecular biology and polymeric controlled release technology to examine the cellular and molecular mechanisms that transform stable coronary-artery disease to unstable coronary syndromes.

Position description:
In this project, we aim to develop new therapies for bone regeneration. We will develop smart biomaterials to enable sustained local delivery of drugs and factors for regeneration and immuno-modulation of bone defects and inflammatory bone disease. The project will cover aspects of biomaterials, drug delivery, cell and vascular biology, growth factors delivery and animal studies.
Qualifications:
Candidates should have a Ph.D. and/or M.D. in materials science, molecular biology, immunology, or a related field, with personal interest in translational applicable research. Candidate should have multi-disciplinary hands-on experience in cell biology and small animal models and experience working with hard tissues. The ability to be independent while also working in a team environment is crucial. The candidate should also have exceptional written and verbal communication skills, be self-motivated and have demonstrated productivity.
Interested candidates should send their C.V. and list of references to Dr. Natalie Artzi; nartzi@mit.edu and to Professor Edelman; ere@mit.edu.
This position is contingent on available funding.
