Positions
Engage in research that makes a difference…
…to people, the planet, and the built environment
Are you inspired to do research that helps tackle important challenges around climate, global health, and equity? Do you have expertise in materials science, biological science, chemistry, physics, or environmental, architectural, chemical, biological, or structural engineering?
Are you energized to work within a robust, collegial, and welcoming academic environment alongside a diverse array of fellow researchers?
If so, we invite you to join our extremely multidisciplinary Living Materials Laboratory, where we use biology to build a better world.
If no open positions are available, or if none correspond to your skills and interests, feel free to check back later, or contact Matt Fyfe, lab manager, to discuss further.
Interested and motivated undergraduates should submit applications to the University of Colorado SPUR and DLA programs as we annually seek student support through these initiatives.
Current openings:
Postdoctoral Associate in Bioinspired Materials for Earth & Space Construction
Boulder, Colorado
A highly motivated and independent scholar is sought with training and deep expertise the areas of materials chemistry and microstructural characterization. The Postdoctoral Associate will design and conduct advanced materials characterization experiments pertaining to bioinspired materials for earth and space construction. When appropriate, the Postdoctoral Associate will design new experimental protocols to advance specialized experimentation and materials characterization techniques related to the structure, function, and properties of earth and space materials. The Postdoctoral Associate will be expected to contribute to enhancing the vision and mission of a vibrant, cross-disciplinary collaborative research team at the University of Colorado Boulder at the intersection of biology, materials science, and civil and architectural engineering.
