Open positions for post-doctoral researchers in Menopause Health Engineering at the Schaffer-Nishimura Lab
The
Menopause Health Engineering initiative at Cornell applies data-driven, engineering-based approaches (advanced intravital imaging, organ-on-chip systems, and computational modeling) to uncover mechanistic insights into microvascular function, cardiac physiology, and hormonal transitions, driving evidence-based diagnostics and therapies.
We are seeking postdoctoral researchers with interest and experience in transcriptomics to join the Schaffer-Nishimura lab for collaborative projects with the Menopause Health Engineering initiative. The Schaffer-Nishimura lab is a cross-disciplinary, diverse lab, so a willingness to collaborate is considered a strength. Interested candidates are encouraged to send a CV to Nozomi Nisihmura at nn62@cornell.edu.
The SN Lab fosters a highly interdisciplinary and diverse research environment, with current lab members coming from six continents and having research backgrounds that include physics, engineering, computer science, neuroscience, physiology, and medicine. We encourage applications from researchers with physics, engineering, or other quantitative backgrounds who are interested in learning to apply their skills to biological problems, as well as from researchers with a life science or biomedical research background who are interested in learning to use state-of-the-art optical approaches to elucidate cellular behaviors. Postdoc candidates must have completed a PhD in a relevant field by the start date. Positions are available now, but we will have some flexibility for start dates. Interested candidates should send a cover letter and CV to Nozomi Nishimura (nn62@cornell.edu) and Chris Schaffer (cs385@cornell.edu). The most promising candidates will be invited for an on-site interview.
The Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering and Cornell University embrace diversity and seek candidates who will foster a climate that attracts all students, staff and faculty. Cornell University seeks to meet the needs of dual-career couples, has a dual-career program, and is a member of the Upstate New York Higher Education Recruitment Consortium to assist with dual-career searches.
Diversity and inclusion are a part of Cornell University's heritage. We are a recognized employer and educator valuing AA/EEO, Protected Veterans, and Individuals with Disabilities.
