The Laboratory for Bioengineering Research and Applications (LIBRA) in the Division of Engineering, New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit a postdoctoral associate to work on scientifically deciphering the magic of macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs).

The successful applicant will be hired for 2 years and will drive the immunological side of a fascinating project that uses bioelectronics to assess EVs from macrophages. In recent years macrophage-derived EVs have emerged to be potential therapeutic targets and promising agents for treatment of inflammatory diseases, and our goal is to capitalize on this possibility by gaining a better understanding using bioelectronic means. The passionate and detailed-oriented candidate will work in a multidisciplinary, multicultural environment consisting of PhD-level scientists, graduate students and undergraduate students and across multiple institutions (Khalifa University, Cornell University).

Applicants must have a PhD in Bioengineering or related science. Excellent experimental, data analytic and presentation skills with practical know-how needed for multi-resolution (genetic-, protein-, functional-level) assessment of immune cells, and preferably with evidenced experience relevant to the project (in particular 3D cell culture and/or Bioelectronics) are required.

For consideration, applicants need to submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae with full publication list, one-page summary of research accomplishments and interests, all in PDF format. Complete submission should be through Interfolio only. Shortlisted candidates will be asked of three letters of reference. The terms of employment are very competitive and include housing and educational subsidies for children. Applications will be accepted immediately and candidates will be considered until the position is filled. If you have any further questions, please email them to jct8@nyu.edu
