Job description
Background of the recruitment and description of the project
Our laboratory at Peking University is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to work on interdisciplinary projects at the interface of mechanobiology, biomaterials, and immune engineering.
Current research focuses on developing next-generation biomaterial and mechanoregulation platforms to enhance immune cell function for cancer immunotherapy. Specific topics include immune cell mechanotransduction, engineered artificial antigen-presenting systems, biomaterial-assisted cell therapies, and spatially resolved analysis of tumor-immune interactions.
The successful candidate will join a highly interdisciplinary environment with opportunities for international collaboration and access to advanced bioengineering and translational research platforms.
Work content and job description
The postdoctoral researcher will conduct independent and collaborative research in mechanobiology, biomaterials, immune engineering, and cancer immunotherapy.
Responsibilities include experimental design, biomaterial preparation, immune cell engineering, molecular and cellular assays, data analysis, and manuscript preparation. Experience in bioengineering, immunology, biomaterials, cancer biology, or related interdisciplinary fields is preferred.
