1) Postdoctoral Position in Validation of Biohybrid Tissue Electronics
The Rivnay lab seeks a postdoctoral researcher with background in electrical stimulation and implantable devices. Knowledge of fabrication, electrochemistry, or work with neurons is beneficial, but not necessary. The project (funded through ARPA-H), targets biohybrid bioelectronic cell therapies for treatment of peritoneal cancers, or type 2 diabetes/obesity. This role will contribute to actuation technologies including oxygenation and electrogenetic activation of engineered cells, and integration with backend electronics.

2) Postdoctoral Position in Validation of Biohybrid Tissue Electronics
A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the laboratory of Dr. Jonathan Rivnay in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University, to develop and validate novel functional materials for applications in bioelectronics and regenerative engineering. The project is a transdisciplinary effort with a team consisting of synthetic chemists, biomedical engineers, and collaborations with translational researchers. Successful candidates should have a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering, Bioengineering, or related disciplines and should have first-hand, extensive experience with in vivo small animal biomaterial or biomedical device studies including surgery, characterization, and familiarity with animal protocols. While not required, experience with cell culture and associated techniques and characterization are beneficial. Furthermore, prior experience with bioelectronic devices and electrophysiology or drug delivery is beneficial.
The Rivnay group explores the unique aspects of electrically and optically active polymers for sensing and actuation to address mismatches at the biotic/abiotic interface. The position will be based on Northwestern’s downtown Chicago campus.
Application Instructions:
Interested individuals should send a C.V., the names of three references, and a cover letter describing research interests and accomplishments and how these align with the posted position and the interests of the Rivnay research group. Qualified applicants should highlight in CV or cover letter specific experience related to in vivo and/or in vitro expertise, for example, genetic modification, drug delivery, induced pluripotent stem cells, electrophysiology.
