Postdoc Fellow – Synthetic Biology in Human Stem Cells

Job Title: Postdoc Fellow – Synthetic Biology in Human Stem Cells

Job Number: 108223

Location: New York, US

The Truong Lab for “Programmable Regenerative Immunity” (Please click the Apply button for the link or email) at NYU Tandon School of Engineering is seeking to hire a Post Doctoral Associate to lead experimental & intellectual efforts in Synthetic Immuno-Engineering and Regenerative Immunology. This is an opportunity to define the next generation of human cell engineering and cell-based therapeutics.

The lab integrates synthetic biology, genome engineering, and stem cell differentiation to design programmable, interoperable human cells. We have developed a genome engineering platform (REWRITE) that enables scarless, large-scale rewriting (10–100+ kb) of native loci in human iPSCs. These systems are being used to construct synthetic immune and neuronal consortia from the ground up.

• The lab is interdisciplinary, high-momentum, and deeply collaborative, with strong translational & entrepreneurial ambitions.
• Access state-of-the-art infrastructure for genome engineering, stem cell culture, and single-cell profiling.
• Obtain opportunities for fellowship support, project independence, and technology translation (including spinout support).
• Collaborate across NYU Tandon School of Engineering, Grossman School of Medicine, and Arts & Sciences.

Candidates should have a PhD in Life Sciences or Engineering.

The successful candidate will have a demonstrated expertise in at least one of the following:

• Genome Engineering & Synthetic Biology
• Stem Cells & Differentiation
• Immunology or Neuroscience
• Genomics or Systems Biology

as exemplified by a strong publication record and scientific communication skills.
