Postdoctoral Fellow
Postdoc Fellow – Synthetic Biology in Human Stem Cells Full-time
The Truong Lab for “Programmable Regenerative Immunity” (truonglab.com) at NYU Tandon School of Engineering is seeking to hire a Post Doctoral Associate to lead experimental & intellectual efforts in Synthetic Immuno-Engineering and Regenerative Immunology. This is an opportunity to define the next generation of human cell engineering and cell-based therapeutics.
The lab integrates synthetic biology, genome engineering, and stem cell differentiation to design programmable, interoperable human cells. We have developed a genome engineering platform (REWRITE) that enables scarless, large-scale rewriting (10–100+ kb) of native loci in human iPSCs. These systems are being used to construct synthetic immune and neuronal consortia from the ground up.
Why Join Us?
(1) The lab is interdisciplinary, high-momentum, and deeply collaborative, with strong translational & entrepreneurial ambitions.
(2) Access state-of-the-art infrastructure for genome engineering, stem cell culture, and single-cell profiling.
(3) Obtain opportunities for fellowship support, project independence, and technology translation (including spinout support).
(4) Collaborate across NYU Tandon School of Engineering, Grossman School of Medicine, and Arts & Sciences.
Qualifications
Candidates should have a PhD in Life Sciences or Engineering.
The successful candidate will have a demonstrated expertise in at least one of the following:
(1) Genome Engineering & Synthetic Biology,
(2) Stem Cells & Differentiation,
(3) Immunology or Neuroscience,
(4) Genomics or Systems Biology,
as exemplified by a strong publication record and scientific communication skills.
