Job description

Position Description
The Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow position focused on the development of next generation bioinks and advanced 3D bioprinting technologies for regenerative medicine and therapeutic delivery.
TIBI is an independent nonprofit research institute dedicated to developing personalized therapeutic solutions using advanced micro- and nanoscale technologies to address major challenges in organ failure, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. In close collaboration with clinicians and translational partners, the Institute advances biomaterials engineering and bio fabrication platforms toward clinical impact.
The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary research team working on injectable hydrogels, hydrogel-based bioink design, cell delivery systems, and emerging bioprinting modalities. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to innovative biomaterials research at the interface of engineering, biology, and translational medicine.
Research Responsibilities
  • Conduct independent and collaborative research in hydrogel-based bioink development and 3D bioprinting technologies.
  • Design, synthesize, and characterize novel injectable and printable biomaterial formulations.
  • Perform physicochemical and mechanical evaluation of bioinks, including rheological and structural characterization.
  • Collect, analyze, and interpret experimental data to support research milestones and translational objectives.
  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams in biomaterials science, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine.
  • Prepare abstracts, manuscripts, and technical reports for dissemination in peer-reviewed journals and scientific conferences.
  • Contribute to the advancement of clinically relevant biofabrication and cell delivery strategies.

Minimum Qualifications
  • Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering, Polymer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
  • Demonstrated record of scholarly productivity, including peer-reviewed publications.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently while contributing effectively within a collaborative research environment.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with advanced bioprinting approaches, including droplet-based, embedded, or volumetric bioprinting methods.
  • Expertise in hydrogel formulation, rheology, and biomaterials characterization techniques.
  • Familiarity with in vitro cell culture systems and molecular biology methods.
  • Interest in translational biomaterials research and regenerative medicine applications.

Application Instructions
Applicants should submit the following materials:
  • Curriculum Vitae (CV)
  • Research statement (1-3 pages) describing relevant experience and future research interests
  • Contact information for three professional references

Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
