We are always looking for self-driven students who are passionate about our research and eager to add new dimensions to our group’s research missions. We strongly believe in multidisciplinary science and seek candidates from various disciplines including mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, materials science, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, and chemistry. Our laboratory is dedicated to being an equal opportunity employer and is committed to fostering diversity among its members.
Post-doctoral researchers
Stay tuned!
PhD students
We have RA/TA-funded PhD positions on the broad areas related to biomaterials design for minimally invasive applications. Candidates with experience and/or interest in (a) synthesis and characterization of polymeric biomaterials (particularly hydrogels), (b) development of wearable and implantable medical devices, (c) in vitro cell culture, and in vivo animal studies are encouraged to apply. Experience and proficiency in graphical design and scientific illustrations is a plus. Prospective students should meet the minimum admission requirements and apply to the Mechanical Engineering program. Applicants should indicate their interest in working with us on the application form.
For pre-submission inquiries: Interested candidates should email us their CV with a short description of how their interests fits within our group. Students can include a statement of research interests and career goals, transcripts, and contact information for three references to receive priority consideration. Please use “PhD application to BioMINTech Lab” subject line in your email.
MS students
Students interested in MS degree are encouraged to apply through the Mechanical Engineering Department. MS students should be able to support themselves financially. Full or partial funding opportunities for the MS students might be available in exceptional cases. Interested candidates should email us their application including a copy of their CV and how their interests fit within our group. Please use “MS application to BioMINTech Lab” subject line in your email.
Undergraduate students
We always welcome undergraduate researchers in our group. If you are an undergraduate student at the University of Utah and are excited about innovations to improve human health, reach out for opportunities to get involved in the cutting-edge biomedical research in our lab.
