Location: Eugene, OR
Categories: Biology/Life Sciences, Research/Scientific/ Grants, Chemistry, Data Science
Department: Knight Campus
Rank: Postdoctoral Scholar
Annual Basis: 12 Month Review of Applications Begins April 15, 2024; position open until filled Special Instructions to Applicants Along with your online application, please upload your CV and a cover letter that details your qualifications for this position. Department Summary The Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact is a billion-dollar initiative designed to fast-track scientific discoveries and the process of turning those discoveries into innovations that improve the quality of life for people in Oregon, the nation, and beyond. The Knight Campus will reshape the higher education landscape in Oregon by training the next generations of scientists, forging tighter ties with industry and entrepreneurs, and creating new educational opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students.
The Benoit lab works at the interface of medicine and engineering, with an emphasis on precisely controlling biomaterial functionality and architecture to treat diseases, control cell behavior, or answer fundamental biological questions. In particular, we are focusing on two avenues: synthetic hydrogels with tunable degradation and mechanical properties as a synthetic extracellular matrix analog for the culture and delivery of cells for regenerative medicine approaches and polymers formed using reversible- addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT), a controlled, living polymerization strategy, designed with drug delivery applications in mind. Our overall hypothesis is that by using bottom-up approaches, we can design 'smart' materials with distinct capabilities, such as controlling cell behavior or overcoming delivery barriers. Position Summary The Postdoctoral Scholar will be responsible for conducting research and technical activities related to sponsored projects in Dr. Benoit's lab; will conduct data analysis and collaborate on reporting findings and discoveries in written and verbal form; and will manage, maintain, and provide technical expertise for Benoit lab equipment, protocols, and programs.
