Job Summary:

This is a highly skilled scientific role within the Global Immunology and Immunotoxicology (I&I) team, supporting the development and implementation of bone marrow-on-a-chip platforms and advanced in vitro models within the broader Early Development organization. The position contributes to translational research by designing, validating, and applying microphysiological systems to study hematopoiesis, immune responses, and disease biology.

The primary objective of this postdoctoral role is to advance the I&I New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) strategy by enabling more predictive, human-relevant models of the hematopoietic compartment. This work aims to reduce reliance on animal models, improve translational relevance, and accelerate decision-making in drug development and safety assessment.

• Ph.D. in bioengineering, biomedical engineering, biology, immunology, biochemistry or related life science
• 4 or more years of experience in advanced cell culture systems
• 1 or more peer-reviewed publications in the field of bioengineering, microfluidics, hematopoiesis or immunology with at least one as a first author publication in press or submission

Preferred Qualifications:

• 3 or more years of experience with bone marrow biology, hematopoiesis, or immune organ modeling
• 3 or more years of experience with microfluidics and/or 3-D culture systems
• 3 or more years of experience with immunological assays (e.g. flow cytometry, ELISA)
• 1 or more peer-reviewed publications on the subject of hematopoiesis, bone marrow physiology, or microfluid/3-D cell culture systems

Additional Job Standards:
