What is an engineering postdoc?

An Engineering Postdoc is a temporary research position for PhD graduates to gain advanced training and experience in engineering fields. Postdocs work on specialized projects, publish research, collaborate with faculty, and may mentor students. These positions typically last 1-3 years and help researchers prepare for academic, industry, or government roles.

What are the typical day-to-day responsibilities of an engineering postdoc?

Engineering Postdocs usually spend their days designing and conducting advanced research experiments, analyzing data, and documenting their findings for publication or presentations. They often collaborate closely with faculty members, graduate students, and other researchers to develop new methods or contribute to ongoing projects. Additional tasks may include mentoring junior team members, preparing grant applications, and presenting results at conferences. This blend of research, collaboration, and academic engagement provides valuable experience for future academic or industry roles.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the engineering postdoc position?

To thrive as an Engineering Postdoc, you typically need a PhD in engineering or a related field, a solid research background, and deep expertise in your specific engineering discipline. Familiarity with advanced modeling software, programming languages (such as MATLAB or Python), and laboratory or simulation equipment is commonly required. Strong analytical thinking, independent problem-solving, and effective written and verbal communication skills are essential soft skills for this role. These competencies are important for successfully conducting innovative research, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams, and contributing to publications and grant proposals.

Job Title:
Post-Doctoral Researcher
Department:
Dentistry | College Administration
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join an interdisciplinary collaboration between Dr. Yuan Xue (Department of Biomedical Informatics) and Dr. Andréa Ferreira Zandoná (College of Dentistry) at The Ohio State University. This position offers a unique opportunity to lead cutting-edge research at the intersection of artificial intelligence and dental health, with a focus on building multimodal AI models to predict dental caries progression.
The successful candidate will work on developing deep learning and computer vision models using longitudinal dental imaging data-primarily intraoral radiographs-integrated with clinical and behavioral data collected from multiple collaborating institutions. The overarching goal of this research is to enable early and accurate prediction of caries lesion progression to support precision prevention and treatment planning. The postdoc will lead efforts to design multimodal learning architectures (e.g., attention-based fusion, progression-aware temporal modeling), perform rigorous model validation, and help translate research findings into clinically meaningful insights in close collaboration with dental experts.
This is a full-time position based in Columbus, Ohio with an initial appointment of two years and the possibility of extension based on performance and funding. The postdoctoral fellow will be primarily based in Dr. Xue's lab at the Department of Biomedical Informatics but will work closely with Dr. Zandoná's team at the College of Dentistry, one of the nation's top programs in cariology research. The position includes competitive salary and benefits through Ohio State, as well as funding for travel to present at leading conferences.
How to Apply
To apply, please submit your application electronically via Workday and send the following materials in a single PDF to Dr. Yuan Xue at yuan.xue@osumc.edu:
(1) a cover letter describing your research background, interests, and career goals;
(2) your CV with a list of publications; and
(3) contact information for three professional references. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
Final candidates are subject to successful completion of a background check. A drug screen or physical may be required during the post offer process.
