Postdoc Position in Biomaterials and Drug Delivery The Zhao Lab (zhaolab.ua.edu) of the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Alabama is seeking two highly motivated and skilled post-doctoral candidates who have a solid background either in polymer, drug delivery, nanomedicine, organic chemistry, pain treatment, and/or tissue engineering. The successful applicants will be responsible for the study of alternative strategies and therapies for pain management. This is a highly collaborative project involving three labs at the University of Alabama, University of California San Diego, and the University of Alabama at Birmingham. The Zhao Lab is dedicated to polymeric biomaterials for drug delivery and tissue engineering, with a particular focus on the application of tetrodotoxin in pain treatment.
Qualifications • Ph.D./MD with a background in polymer, drug delivery, nanomedicine, organic chemistry, and/or tissue engineering. • Individuals with experience in pain treatment will be given preference. • Experience in animal models is preferred, but not necessary. • Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English with good organizational and analytical abilities. • Motivated to pursue postdoctoral training required for a future independent academic career.
Interested applicants should apply directly to Dr. Chao Zhao by sending a cover letter, C.V., and contact information for three references to [email protected] Review of applications will begin immediately and the anticipated start date is in spring, 2022.
Ph.D. Position in Polymer and Biomaterials The Zhao Lab (zhaolab.ua.edu) of the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Alabama is seeking two Ph.D. students. The student will work within one of the following study areas:
