Research Fellow - Polymer Chemistry

A postdoctoral position is available in the area of Polymer Chemistry in Prof. Suman Bose's laboratory at Mayo Clinic Arizona. The Bose lab, situated in the Department of Physiology and Biomedical Engineering and Department of Immunology, focuses on creating next-generation cell-based therapies for treating human diseases. It explores the interface of biomaterial science, cellular engineering, and immunology.

The applicant will focus on developing high-throughput libraries of biocompatible polymers, hydrogel and polymer-based implants, and new biomaterials. They will also have the opportunity to learn in vitro and in vivo assays to test the materials they have developed. This involves hands-on work with polymer synthesis and material characterization.

A Research Fellow at Mayo Clinic is a temporary position intended to provide training and education in research. Individuals will train in the research program of a Mayo Clinic principal investigator. Qualified individuals demonstrate potential for research as evidenced by their training and peer-reviewed publications.

Candidates should become competitive for national research grants. The lab welcomes applications from those excited about curiosity-driven research, willing to learn cross-disciplinary skills, and motivated to address challenging biological inquiries. Proof of English proficiency is required for certain visa-sponsored positions.
