Openings

We seek talented undergraduates, graduate students and postdocs who are interested in working on multidisciplinary projects. Graduate students with a strong background in biomaterials, cell and molecular biology and/or bioengineering are especially encouraged to apply.

Postdoctoral applicants should have a strong background in polymer chemistry, biomaterials and/or cell biology. For inquiries, please send Dr. Huebsch an email with two potential project ideas, your full CV, and 3 representative publications.
