Postdoctoral Associate, Mammalian Synthetic Biology

POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE, MAMMALIAN SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY, Biological Engineering-Weiss Lab, to join an interdisciplinary academic research lab focused on creating integrated biological systems capable of autonomously performing useful tasks and elucidating design principles for engineering complex cellular and tissue phenotypes; design, build, and test mammalian synthetic gene circuits, including sensing modules (e.g., RNA/miRNA/metabolite-responsive elements), logic/control elements, and output programs that drive measurable cellular behaviors; engineer and maintain mammalian cell lines; perform genome engineering and targeted integration workflows; validate engineered lines using standard molecular and cellular assays; and plan and execute experiments to characterize circuit performance using flow cytometry, microscopy, RT-qPCR, sequencing-based readouts, ELISA, and related methods.
