Description
This postdoctoral research opportunity at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) supports self-motivated researchers specializing in biomaterials, particularly in the design, fabrication, and testing of novel biomimetic scaffolds and membranes for tissue engineering and wound healing applications. Candidates with expertise in tuning hydrogels or electrospun biomaterials for specific applications are highly valued. The research involves mechanical characterization of materials and biological assessments such as biocompatibility and cellular differentiation using gene expression, immunohistochemistry, and qPCR techniques.
The position is part of the NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP), which provide prestigious postdoctoral fellowships to conduct research at federal laboratories. The program aims to foster professional growth, provide access to state-of-the-art facilities, and enable collaboration with leading scientists.
