Postdoctoral Associate

POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE, Mechanical and Biological Engineering - Del Vecchio Lab, will conduct cutting-edge research in mammalian synthetic biology, with focus on chromatin regulation. The goal of the project is to understand the molecular principles governing epigenetic memory and to use this knowledge to program user-defined cellular memories for cell engineering applications. Will be responsible for Research Execution: Design and execute experiments, analyze experimental data, and collaborate with a theory student on model development and hypothesis refinement; Publications & Dissemination: Lead and contribute to peer-reviewed journal publications and present research findings at national and international scientific conferences; Grant & Proposal Writing: Contribute data, figures, and text to grant applications and progress reports; Lab Management: Help maintain safe laboratory operations, compliance protocols, and equipment standards.
