Postdoctoral Research Fellow

The Center for Nanomedicine (CNM) at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow position to work with Dr. Saed Abbasi and Dr. Laura Ensign on research projects related to targeted nanomedicine therapies for Women’s Health applications.We are seeking a candidate with experience and knowledge in nucleic acid therapeutic development, immunology, or RNA biology. The fellow is expected to develop and characterize targeted nucleic acid delivery systems for infertility and obstetric disease models. Expertise in molecular biology is required, including hands-on experience in flow cytometry, immunostaining, confocal microscopy, RT-PCR, and gel electrophoresis. Prior experience in in vivo animal work, lipid nanoparticles, or mRNA delivery is preferred, but not necessary. The Center for Nanomedicine at Johns Hopkins offers a highly multi-disciplinary work environment with various ongoing projects in the areas of ophthalmology, Women’s Health, gene editing, and chemical design of nanoparticle drug and gene delivery systems. Applicants should have the ability to work both independently and as part of a collaborative research group. This position requires a Doctoral degree in Molecular Biology, Engineering, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Materials Science, or similar areas, who has excellent oral and written communication skills. We invite potential applicants to submit a cover letter including a description of research experience, a CV, and contact information for three references to Saed Abbasi (sabbasi5@jhmi.edu) and Laura Ensign (lensign@jhmi.edu).
