The Lindberg Lab will open at the Knight Campus, University of Oregon in October 2021 and is looking for motivated students and postdoctoral research fellows.

Postdoctoral Researchers

The Lindberg lab is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on the development of high-throughput osteoarthritic 3D-models and immunomodulation strategies. This position is an initial one-year appointment with the potential for renewal for an additional 3-years.

We are looking for a researcher skilled in cell biology with a focus on innate immunity, inflammatory disorders and/or osteoarthritic pathogenesis. Additional experience working with biomaterials, bioreactors and/or in vivo models is highly valued. The candidate should be highly motivated and have excellent oral and written communication skills in order to manage collaborative relationships with research project external partners. You will be joining a multidisciplinary research team of engineers, biologists and chemists working at the interface of stem cell-biology, biomaterials science and engineering.

All candidates with high motivation and independent thinking should apply. Please send a copy of your full CV including references to publications/conference proceedings; a cover letter describing your research experience, interests, career goals and preferred start date; copies of undergraduate/postgraduate academic transcripts; the names of two referees, and any other supporting information relevant to the project (e.g. lab/assay skills, software/hardware expertise) to Assistant Professor Lindberg.

The position is available from September 2021.

Graduate Students

We are looking for two enthusiastic, proactive and dynamic students to undertake their studies in the multidisciplinary field of biofabrication. One PhD project is focused on [immunomodulation in Osteoarthritis] and one PhD project is focused on [Bone marrow tissue engineering].

The PhD candidate should hold a BSc (Hons) or MSc preferably in biomedical engineering, chemistry/materials science, or cell biology. In vitro cell culture and biochemical analysis techniques is highly valued. Furthermore, the candidate should be highly motivated and have excellent oral and written communication skills in order to manage collaborative relationships with research project external partners.

All candidates with high motivation, independent thinking, and good communication skills (both written and oral) should apply. Please send a copy of your full CV including references to publications/conference proceedings; a cover letter describing your research experience, interests, career goals and preferred start date; copies of undergraduate/postgraduate academic transcripts; the names of two referees, and any other supporting information relevant to the project (e.g. lab/assay skills, software/hardware expertise) to Assistant Professor Lindberg.

The positions are available from September 2021.

Undergraduate Students

The Knight Campus Undergraduate Scholars Program provides UO students with funding to conduct research for one year in a Knight Campus-affiliated lab. Undergraduate students interested in working in the Lindberg lab should send their CV, research interests and planned time-commitment to Assistant Professor Lindberg.
