Opportunity Description:

The Wilson Lab in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University is currently in search of talented postdoc candidates with a passion for science and a strong desire to make a positive impact on human health. The Wilson Lab’s research focuses on the synthesis and pre-clinical validation of biomaterials-based immunomodulatory therapies that bias the adaptive immune response for the treatment of cancer, autoimmunity, and infectious diseases. Our work includes the synthesis and characterization of novel biomaterials via small-molecule organic and plymer chemistry. Our postdocs will have the opportunity to test biomaterial functionality in vitro and various animal models, including those for cancer and autoimmunity. The individual will assist in the training of Jr lab members, thus excellent interpersonal skills are required. Postdocs will be expected to demonstrate independence in experimental design and execution and work effectively with others in a collaborative setting.
