　　Job Description

　　The Ahsan laboratory at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) School of Pharmacy in Amarillo, Texas, has an opening for a postdoctoral position that centers around a project on organ-on-a-chip with an anticipated start date in February/March 2019. The candidate should have a PhD in organ-on-a-chip, microfluidics, bioengineering, pharmaceutical sciences, chemical engineering or related disciplines and must have an excellent writing skill in English. A well-rounded candidate should have first-authored publications in high impact journals demonstrating his/her hands-on experience in microfluidic-chip design, fabrication, on-chip cell culture, microscopy for on-chip cultures and cellular/molecular biological techniques, manuscript and grant writing. Additional experiences in bio- and 3D-printing, animal handling and a doctoral or postdoctoral training at an institute in the United States will be a plus. An exceptionally qualified candidate who has all of the above skills, especially chip design/fabrication, on-chip cell culture, and grant writing, will receive an annual salary of $45,000-55,000 plus fringe benefits and will be sponsored for an H1B visa, if needed. Candidates with no experience in microfluidic chip design, fabrication and on-chip cell culture will not be considered. Interested candidates may send their resumes directly to Dr. Ahsan at fakhrul.ahsan@ttuhsc.edu. TTUHSC does not discriminate based on race, religion, national origin, color, sex, age, or disability. All applicants will be treated equally and selected based only on their academic credentials and relevant experience.
