Shift: N/A Position Type: Full-Time Organization: Emory University Operating Unit: Emory University Department: SOM: Biomedical Engineering Preferred Qualifications The Emory-Georgia Tech Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence (CCNE) and the Bioengineering Research Partnership (BRP) invite applications for postdoctoral research associates in biomedical engineering, nanotechnology, medicinal chemistry and bioinformatics. Specific research topics include: (1) nanoparticles for gene and siRNA delivery; (2) nanotechnology for molecular analysis and detection of atherosclerosis plaques; (3) nanoparticle reagents for sensitive imaging of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases; (4) nanoparticle organ uptake, distribution, and toxicology; (5) biomedical applications of Raman and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy; (6) cellular image processing and 3-D reconstruction; (7) synthesis of biocompatible and biodegradable polymers for targeted delivery of imaging and therapeutic agents; and (8) molecular histopathology and correlation of biomarkers with clinical outcome. The minimum requirements include a PhD or MD degree in engineering, chemistry, biology or medicine, at least two first-author papers in high-quality journals (impact factor>5.0), and an interest in collaborative work at the interface of science, engineering, and medicine. Exceptional candidates will be considered for the prestigious CCNE fellowship at Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology. We offer competitive salaries plus fringe benefits. Job Title: Post-Doc Fellow Shift: N/A Position Type: Full-Time Organization: Emory University Operating Unit: Emory University Department: SOM: Winship Cancer Institute Postdoctoral Positions in Nanomedicine The NIH funded Cancer Center of Nanotechnology Excellence (CCNE) and the Head and Neck Cancer Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE) at Emory University invite highly motivated scientists to apply for post doctoral fellow positions. Candidates must have a PhD in chemistry, Pharmacology or tumor biology. Research experience in polymer chemistry, development of tumor targeted therapeutics, or evaluation of cancer therapeutic agents in various animal tumor models is preferred. Selected post doctoral fellows will develop tumor targeted biodegradable nanoparticle-formulated drugs and perform studies to determine target specificity and anti-tumor effect in vitro and in vivo. Potential research projects also include the development of targeted therapeutic imaging nanoparticles for drug delivery and monitoring the tumor response using multimodality tumor imaging. Emory CCNE and Head Neck Cancer SPORE programs offer an outstanding research environment and great opportunity to work in transitional research to bring the nanotechnology into clinical application. Post doctoral fellows in these research programs have the opportunity to interact and work with faculty members from a multidisciplinary research team with expertise in chemistry, bioengineering, cancer biology, drug development and nanomedicine. How to Apply To apply, send a cover letter, an updated CV, and names of 3-5 references to Ms. Michelle Denney, Program Coordinator, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Emory University, 101 Woodruff Circle Suite 2007, Atlanta, GA 30322. Electronic applications are encouraged and should be addressed to Ms. Michelle Denney at mdenney@emory.edu. All positions are open until filled. |
