Job Posting Title: Postdoctoral Fellow - Kim Lab
Hiring Department: Biomedical Engineering
Position Open To: All Applicants
Weekly Scheduled Hours: 40
FLSA Status: Exempt
Earliest Start Date: Immediately
Position Duration: Expected to Continue Until May 19, 2020
Location: UT MAIN CAMPUS
Job Description: This position will conduct research in the area of tissue engineering, bioinformatics, and human clinical microbiology.
Job Details:
The Biomimetic Microengineering (BioME) Laboratory (Principal Investigator, Hyun Jung Kim, PhD ) in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at UT Austin has focused on innovating bioinspired engineering principles to develop biomedical platform technologies to uncover the fundamental questions in human health and diseases. By leveraging the human ‘Organs-on-Chips’ microphysiological system, we have created paradigm-shifting gut biomimicry to reconstitute the physical structure, physiological functions, and mechanical dynamics of the living human intestine . Integration of the human “Gut-on-a-Chip” and 3D organoid system enables to emulate the living host-microbiome ecosystem to understand complex crosstalks between epithelium, microbiome, immune cells and microenvironmental factors pertinent to the human homeostasis and disease pathogenesis. We have collaborated closely with LIVESTRONG Cancer Institute in Dell Medical School at UT Austin. For a more detailed description of our research goals and specific projects, please visit the lab website: https://sites.utexas.edu/biome/
This position entails working with current group members to advance the research projects regarding the design of a patient-specific human gastrointestinal (GI) disease-on-a-chip to emulate the pathophysiology of diseases such as colorectal cancer or inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis). We are particularly interested in identifying the role of the gut microbiome on eliciting the initiation and pathogenesis of these GI diseases. The candidate of interest will leverage microfabrication techniques, primary cell culture, microbial culture, and single-cell analysis to contribute to our on-going projects. Multiple opportunities to collaborate with GI clinicians, GI oncologists, bioinformaticians, microbiologists, and biomedical engineers are expected.
The position is initially offered for one year, which can be renewed on an annual basis up to five years.
Relevant education and experience may be substituted as appropriate.
