Karp Lab / Langer Lab, Boston, MA, USA
The Karp Lab at Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and the Langer Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology aim to rapidly advance therapeutic solutions for diseases in oral and gastrointestinal mucosa through multidisciplinary approaches. A major focus between our research groups is to develop technologies that can be rapidly translated to the clinic to improve the quality of life of suffering patients.
This post doctoral fellow will lead a high impact project developing delivery systems for the therapeutic modulation of inflamed mucosa. The successful candidate for this position will be responsible for high-level project design and coordination, in addition to leading a team in experimental execution. The candidate will have strong organizational and communication skills for assisting and collaborating with multidisciplinary groups of technology innovators and engineers, as well as biologists and clinicians, in a dynamic team environment.
Basic Qualifications: Ph.D. and relevant experience in Biology, Bioengineering, Biomedical Engineering, Biochemistry or related degree. Ideally will have ample experience in biochemical techniques, animal handling, and drug delivery vehicles.
The Karp and Langer Labs are dynamic and fast paced environments that thrive on collaboration and ingenuity. We have a diverse, international talent pool, simultaneously working on multiple projects across several disease areas. We are focused on the development of platform technologies supporting a broad range of potential applications in medicine and bioengineering. Our emphasis on translational research enables us to train the next generation of bioengineers and expand the boundaries of this exciting field. With that in mind, we seek members with highly developed interpersonal skills who could contribute to our dynamic lab community.
