Open Positions

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE POSITIONS

The Moore Lab  is moving to the Fischell Department of Bioengineering at the University of Maryland, College Park, and is currently recruiting highly motivated and diverse candidates for NIH-funded postdoctoral research positions. 

The available postdoctoral project will involve working on ongoing projects on in vitro biomaterial model development as well as integrating genetic and sociocultural measures of ancestry into bioengineering. 

We are considering applicants with a Ph.D. degree with experience in standard and specialized laboratory skills from a wide range of areas, including but not limited to biomaterials, cell and tissue engineering, immunology, computational biology, and bioinformatics. The diversity of our research team strengthens our capacity for innovation and individuals from underrepresented groups are highly encouraged to apply.

Candidates are expected to be independently motivated, collaborative, interested in using engineering tools to answer biological questions, and have excellent written and oral communication skills, which are demonstrated through their publication and presentation records. 

 Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering, computational biology, bioengineering, or a related field.

RESEARCH TECHNICIAN POSITION

The Duncan and Moore Labs in the Fischell Department of Bioengineering at the University of Maryland, College Park have a joint opening for a full-time research technician to support both labs’ operations. 

The Duncan Lab’s research is focused on using nanotechnology, biomaterials, and genetic engineering as tools to broaden understanding of the lung airway microenvironment.  For more information, please visit: http://duncan.umd.edu/ 

The Moore Lab’s research integrates immunology, biomaterial models, and measures of lived experiences (such as age, biological sex, and stress) to understand the relationship between lived experiences and immune responses in wound healing through modeled biomaterial microenvironments. For more information, please visit: https://www.themoorelab.com/ 

Duties for this position will include a range of activities to enable Duncan and Moore Lab research,  including supporting: i) cell culture (mammalian), ii) tissue and cell imaging (microscopy), iii) lab operations, iv) rodent handling + manipulation (disease induction, monitoring, treatment application, tissue/cell harvest), v) tissue processing (histology and immunohistochemistry), and vi) research data analysis.
