Position Highlights
The Song lab (https://songlab.arizona.edu) at University of Arizona is actively searching for Postdoctoral Research Associates to join our Neural Engineering and Regenerative Medicine team. Our Laboratory engineers advanced microphysiological platforms, 3D-bioprinted constructs, and regenerative scaffolds that bridge the gap between cell biology and clinical translation, and is fully funded, collaborative, and actively publishing.
You'll develop in vitro and in vivo models focused on neural repair, tissue regeneration, and disease modeling, with a strong emphasis on conductive biomaterials and microphysiological systems. Active funded projects include a human blood-brain barrier-on-chip platform for stroke modeling (AHA Career Development Award) and a novel neuromodulation strategy for spinal cord injury recovery (NIH Director's New Innovator Award, DP2). The work spans molecular cellular assays, biomaterial design, organ-on-chip engineering, and translational validation - giving you breadth across biological scales that's hard to find in a single lab. We're looking for someone who wants to build things that matter and grow into an independent scientist.
Outstanding U of A benefits include health, dental, vision, and life insurance; paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays; U of A/ASU/NAU tuition reduction for the employee and qualified family members; access to U of A recreation and cultural activities; and more!
The University of Arizona has been recognized for our innovative work-life programs. For more information about working at the University of Arizona and relocations services, please click here.
