Opportunities

Open calls and targeted project announcements from the Weiss Lab.

Postdoctoral Associate, Mammalian Synthetic Biology

Join our interdisciplinary academic research lab focused on creating integrated biological systems capable of autonomously performing useful tasks and elucidating design principles for engineering complex cellular and tissue phenotypes. Will work closely with researchers, principal investigators (PIs), and a lab manager on government- and corporate-sponsored programs in mammalian synthetic biology, including neuromorphic synthetic biology. Projects involve building mammalian genetic circuits that sense cellular state (e.g., mRNA, miRNA, metabolites) and implement feedback control and analog, digital, and “neural” logic to drive precise spatiotemporal responses (e.g., differentiation, vascularization, and cell–cell communication). See more information in the link.

Note: Even when there are no open calls, if you’re interested in applying at any level, please email Ron to explore possibilities and discuss cool science.
