Positions

May, 2019 

We are actively looking for postdocs with expertise in peptide / bio-conjugation chemistry. This position is for current NIH (R01 and R21) research projects on developing new types of collagen hybridizing peptides for applications in disease/injury detection and drug delivery. There is also opportunity to learn about tech transfer and start-up company as our group has strong on-going commercialization efforts.  Candidates with PhD degrees and expertise in peptide / bioconjugate chemistry, recombinant protein, tissue engineering, ECM biology, pharmarcological science, polymer chemistry, bio/nano materials or molecular imaging are welcome to apply.

We welcome passionate and highly motivated researchers to join our team! The postdoctoral fellows will work in a brand new lab space (Sorenson Molecular Biotechnology Building) with state of the art research facilities, and with many collaboration opportunities both within the U of Utah (biomedical engineering and pharmaceutics departments) and Johns Hopkins  University.

Interested candidates should send a CV which includes summary of research experience and interests  to Dr. Michael Yu at: michael.yu@utah.edu
