MIT Postodoctoral Position Available:
Microfabricated Devices for Tissue Engineering
Applicants are sought for a collaborative project involving eleven
investigators from MIT, the Whitehead Institute, and Harvard Medical
School. Project focuses on in vitro development of three dimensional
micro-vascularized tissue structures for application in hepatic and
hematopoeitic tissue engineering. The project is ongoing and is now being
expanded to examine development and functional differentiation of tissue
structures, and application to stem cell biology, in vitro drug metabolism,
viral infection, and gene therapy. A candidate with a PhD in disciplines
related to MEMs/Microfabrication/Microsystems Technology (e.g., Electrical
Engineering/Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science,
Chemical Engineering) is sought to design microfabricated scaffolds with
appropriate features for achieving cell organization and delivery of test
agents to cells. Successful candidates do not need an extensive background
in biology but must have a strong interest in acquiring some familiarity
with biophysics and cell biology. The appointment will be through the MIT
Division of Bioengineering & Environmental Health and work will be
conducted at the MIT Microsystems Technology Lab. Applicants should send a
c.v. and the names of 3 references to Prof. Linda Griffith, MIT 66-466,
Chemical Engineering, 77 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, MA 02139 (email:
griff@mit.edu).
