The Beckman Laser Institute at the University of California, Irvine anticipates openings for postdoctoral scholar positions (Levels 0-IV) for the 2024-25 academic year.

Candidate should possess the ability to work in an interdisciplinary team setting.

Experience in molecular biology and cell culture is also desirable.
Seeking qualified candidates with experience in the following biomedical engineering fields:

Biomedical photonics/optoelectronics
Biomedical nano- and microscale systems/fabrication
Biomedical computation/modeling
Biomolecular and cellular engineering
Biomaterials
Tissue/regenerative engineering
Neuroengineering
Systems biology
Cardiovascular engineering

These positions require a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering, electrical or optical engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, chemistry, or biology and experience in the field / research areas listed above. Alternatively, candidates can have an M.D. or the foreign equivalent.

Preference will be given to candidates that are able to provide physics and optics expertise and at the same time, work specifically to integrate various new optical technologies into current systems.

This is an ongoing recruitment and positions are dependent upon the availability of extramural funding. Initial appointments are for one year and renewal is based on job performance and availability of support. Note: Total duration of an individual’s postdoctoral service may not exceed five years, including postdoctoral service at other institutions.
