    <![CDATA[The Tien Group in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Boston University has one opening for a postdoctoral fellow in the areas of tissue engineering and biomaterials.  The Tien Group specializes in the use of patterned and/or microstructured scaffolds in microvascular tissue engineering.

The candidate will build on the results described in Price et al, Microvasc Res (2008), Golden & Tien, Lab Chip (2007) and Chrobak et al, Microvasc Res (2006) to form functional microvascular networks in hydrogels.  Candidates should be highly skilled in tissue engineering and/or microfabrication techniques and be comfortable with computational methods.  Candidates must have a strong publication record that demonstrates creativity, productivity, and ability to work in teams.  PhD in biomedical or chemical engineering is preferred, but not required.

Further information about the goals and approaches of the Tien Group is available at http://people.bu.edu/jtien.

Interested candidates should send a detailed cover letter, CV, and list of three professional references to Prof. Joe Tien (jtien@bu.edu).

Boston University is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and members of underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.]]>
