Postdoctoral Research Associate

Princeton University

Job Description

Postdoctoral Research Associates - Nano Medicine and Drug Delivery Postdoctoral or more senior researcher positions are available in the Prud'homme Research Group. The group has developed novel technologies to encapsulate biological therapeutics and poorly bioavailable therapeutics at higher loadings and efficiencies than previously achieved. The process is being implemented at large scale for global health by the Gates Foundation, and a startup is focusing on biologics delivery. The research involves developing fundamental understanding of the encapsulation process, the control of release kinetics, and demonstrating biological efficacy and endosomal targeting trafficking of nanoparticles. All the work is collaborative with industrial and academic research groups. The group is looking for two postdoctoral researchers. The skill sets for the projects span: mammalian cell culture, cell biology, oligonucleotide and peptide delivery, polymer self- assembly, nanoparticle characterization, transport phenomena, polymer synthesis, drug conjugation, and imaging. Of course, no candidate is expected to cover this spectrum of fields. Broadly speaking we are looking for one candidate with more biological emphasis and one with more nanoparticle formation and delivery emphasis.
